“…Similar reduced weight of placenta in PIH was recorded by Chakravorty (1967) 9 Jain et al (2007) 8, Armitage, Hamilton & Rowe (1967) and Majumdar (2005) 7 and is confirmed by the present study. It is observed that the birth-weight as well as the placental weight was higher in both controls and cases in the present study which could be attributed to improved antenatal care and better socioeconomic status of the mothers in the present times.…”

Background:Hypertension is one of the most common complication during pregnancy. It contributes significantly to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. This study was designed to investigate the morphological and histopathological changes in placenta from pregnancies complicated with hypertension.Objectives:To study the morbid changes in placenta in cases of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) and to correlate the findings with birth weight of new born babies in comparison with normotensive mothers.Materials and Methods:The study was done on 100 placentas, out of which 50 were collected from normotensive mothers and the remaining 50 from PIH cases. All the placentas were studied morphologically and histologically. The birth weight of neonates was recorded.Results:In the present study it was observed that weight and dimensions of placenta was less in study group when compared with control group. The mean neonatal birth weight was more in normal pregnancy and feto-placental weight ratio was significantly high in hypertensive group. Histopathological study showed significant number of syncitial knots, areas of fibrinoid necrosis, hyalinization, calcification, and medial coat proliferation of medium sized blood vessels in hypertensive group.Conclusion:PIH significantly affects the placenta by reducing its weight and dimensions. These changes may cause placental insufficiency as a result of compromised utero-placental blood flow. Therefore has an adverse affect on the neonatal birth weight. PIH has definite influence on morphology, histology of placenta, and thus affects the growth of the fetus.

“…It revealed that low birth weight was significantly associated with severe PIH which correlate with findings of other studies. 6,[10][11][12][13][14] CONCLUSION PIH contributed to 19.4% of cases amongst all the placentae received. Placental examination helps reveal increased morbidity and mortality in the form of low placental weight and associated low birth weight of baby.…”

Background: Placenta is a predictor of outcome of pregnancy. Placental examination holds an important role in improving outcome of pregnancy. It is strategically located at feto-maternal interface and it acts like a record of pregnancy in which the cumulative effects of pregnancy related events and changes reflecting the intrauterine environment can be scrutinized. Objective of present study was to diagnose presence, if at all, of lesions of placenta and their nature in cases of pregnancy induced hypertension specifically in 2 nd and 3 rd trimester of pregnancy and to classify the lesions based on clinical presentation and to compare the results. Methods: This study is based on histopathological examination of placenta in cases of PIH over a period of three years, from May 2011 to April 2014. The study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital. Results: There were 280 (19.4%) cases of PIH amongst a total of 1440 cases. In these 280, 170 (60.72%) cases had severe PIH, 110 (39.28%) cases had mild PIH. Also, 180 (16.28%) cases revealed increased morbidity and mortality. Conclusions: Evaluation of placenta is an extremely important predictor, that helps to improve the outcome of pregnancy.
