Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Placenta is a fascinating organ especially when its function is considered. Placenta reflects the changes due to maternal hypertension as it’s a mirror of maternal and foetal status. The study of hundred placentas is done to find out the morbid changes in placenta of hypertensive mothers in comparison to those of mothers with normal pregnancies. In gross appearance the placenta of mothers of PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension) were smaller, irregular .Weight, Surface area and volume showed reduction in placenta of PIH mothers. Also calcified areas seen showing signs of insufficiency. Severity of hypertension adversely affects both foetal and placental outcome. If PIH is diagnosed early stage by frequent monitoring of blood pressure, clinical examination and urine examination added precaution can be taken during antenatal period and labour to reduce further risk.
