A member asked:
How does a biophysical profile help pregnancy-induced hypertension?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It doesn't: A biophysical profile (bpp) is not performed to help gestational hypertensive disorders, but to assess fetal well being. The bpp is an evaluation for signs of uteroplacental insufficiency, a complication of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. If there are signs of deterioration in the fetal status, early delivery may be indicated.
