Details and patient eligibility

About

The investigators want to examine whether low salt diet can increase the amniotic fluid index in patients diagnosed with oligohydramnios and assigned for conservative management. A randomized controlled trial

Full description

Few studies have addressed the changes in maternal diet as affecting the composition and amount of amniotic fluid.

Some articles have shown an increase in amniotic fluid volume as a result of maternal hydration during pregnancy through intravenous fluid infusions and oral fluid intake, the increase was evident in women with amniotic fluid and women with normal amniotic fluid volume. In a mechanism similar to that of liquid hydration, a low-salt diet may lead to an increase in the volume of amniotic fluid.

The investigators would like to examine whether a low-salt diet in women with amniotic fluid is able to significantly increase the amount of amniotic fluid compared with a regular diet.
