Morphometric Study of Human Placenta in Preeclampsia Associated with Intrauterine Growth Retardation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The placenta is the special pregnancy organ that links a mother to the child for the transport of fetal nutrition through umbilical cord. Preeclampsia is a major disorder of pregnancy which mainly originates in the placenta and is associated with retarded fetal and placental growth. The aim of this study was to compare the morphometric measures of placenta in pregnancies complicated by Preeclampsia (PE) associated with Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR), with that of normal. Totally 180 placentas were studied. Out of which 80 placentas from PE+IUGR and 100 of normal. There was a significant reduction in Placental weight,Diameter, Volume,Thickness, Birth weight of baby,Foeto-placental ratio, Number of cotyledons, Length of the umbilical cord, Gestational week in PE with IUGR compared to normal. These Morphometric changes might cause placental insufficiency in preeclampsia which results in IUGR.

The detrimental role of angiotensin receptor agonistic autoantibodies in intrauterine growth restriction seen in preeclampsia
Growth-restricted fetuses are at risk for a variety of lifelong medical conditions. Preeclampsia, a life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, is associated with fetuses who suffer from intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Recently, emerging evidence indicates that preeclamptic women harbor AT(1) receptor agonistic autoantibodies (AT(1)-AAs) that contribute to the disease features....
متن کاملGlucose transporters expression in the placental terminal villi of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation complicated pregnancies
Introduction: Transmembrane sodium-independent glucose transporters (GLUTs) play an important role in both placental and fetal development by the providing transplacental glucose transport. Abnormal GLUT-1 and GLUT-3 placental expression could play a role in such late pregnancy complications development as preeclampsia and intrauterine growth retardation. Materials and Methods: Immunohistochemi...
متن کاملEndovascular trophoblast invasion: implications for the pathogenesis of intrauterine growth retardation and preeclampsia.
Maternal uteroplacental blood flow increases during pregnancy. Altered uteroplacental blood flow is a core predictor of abnormal pregnancy. Normally, the uteroplacental arteries are invaded by endovascular trophoblast and remodeled into dilated, inelastic tubes without maternal vasomotor control. Disturbed remodeling is associated with maintenance of high uteroplacental vascular resistance and ...

Placental mesenchymal dysplasia (PMD) is a relatively recently recognized, rare placental vascular anomaly characterized by placentomegaly and grapelike vesicles that may coexist with a normal fetus. Ultrasonography performed at 16 weeks of gestation revealed multiple cysts in the placenta along with a morphologically normal fetus. At 24 weeks of gestational age, severe preeclampsia symptoms we...
متن کاملUmbilical Cord Blood Changes in Neonates from a Preeclamptic Pregnancy
During pregnancy, mother's well-being affects directly the newborn development. Some maternal and placental complications, such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia (PE), preterm delivery and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), may contribute to fetal growth deviations or fetal development modifications. Usually the newborn weight correlates positively with placenta weight, showing the int...
