【 摘 要 】

Abstract Objectives : Pregnancy induced hypertension is a common pathological condition related to pregnancy. It may be expressed with & without proteinuria. The PIH without proteinuria is a precondition before onset of true preeclampsia. The prime objective of the study is to compare & evaluate the morphological alteration of placenta and umbilical cord in pregnancy induced hypertension with and without proteinuria. Methods: A Total sample of 80 placenta from hypertensive mothers were collected for the study, with proteinuria & without poteinuria of 40 samples each. Of the total parameters observed ,Baby weight, gestational age, APGAR scores were noted from the Patient case sheet. The placental Weight , volume, cotyledon, diameter, feto placental ratio,& thickness , & the Umbilical cord insertion site, length, coiling index, & diameter were measured and compared statistically by using t- test. Results: It was observed that, out of the total parameters, The Baby weight, The Placental volume, weight , thickness of center and margin, gestational age, feto placental ratio varies significantly between preeclampsia group (With Proteinuria) & gestational hypertensive group(Without Proteinuria).In the rest of the Parameters no material variations were observed statistically( ie: Diameter & Cotyledon of Placenta, APGAR scores & the umbilical cord dimensionscord length, diameter at 3 sites, coiling index, site of insertion) Conclusions: The study reveals that, the alteration of morphological parameters of placenta have a main role in the increased functional insufficiency and associated fetal growth retardation in the progress of hypertensive condition from gestational hypertension to preeclampsia.
