Abstract

The foetus, placenta, and, mother constitute the vital triad in pregnancy. Placenta is the most accurate record of the infant’s prenatal experience. It is derived from both fetal and maternal tissue. Maternal tissue is decidua basalis and the fetal portion is chorionfrondosum. Preeclampsia is a serious medical condition that affects pregnant women, and it is characterized by high blood pressure and damage to organs, typically the liver and kidneys. One of the ways to diagnose preeclampsia is by examining the placenta after delivery. Reduction in uteroplacental perfusion is thought to be the only pathogenic process contributing to the development of preeclampsia, according to the most common etiologic hypothesis. Lowered uteroplacental blood flow would lead to lighter babies at delivery. The present study aims to find out histopathological changes in the placenta of pregnancy-induced hypertensive females and compare the results with normotensive antenatal females.
