Liley chart

Liley chart
a chart that uses the spectrographic measurement of amniotic fluid bilirubin levels plotted against gestational age to estimate the severity of fetal hemolysis resulting from Rh isoimmunization. The chart is divided into three zones; a measurement falling in zone 1 indicates no disease or mild disease, while one falling in zone 3 indicates severe disease with impending fetal death.
