Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) and Deepest Vertical Pocket Threshold

Calculate AFI (sum of four-quadrant deepest pockets) and deepest vertical pocket (DVP). AFI <5 cm = oligohydramnios; >24 cm = polyhydramnios. DVP <2 cm = oligohydramnios; >8 cm = polyhydramnios.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How to Use

Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate AFI (sum of four-quadrant deepest pockets) and deepest vertical pocket (DVP). AFI <5 cm = oligohydramnios; >24 cm = polyhydramnios. DVP <2 cm = oligohydramnios; >8 cm = polyhydramnios. Use the afi dvp threshold result to inform your calculation.
