Pathological changes in placental-umbilical complexes in women with mild hypertension
The analysis of placental-umbilical units morpho-functional characteristics in women with mild hypertension during pregnancy was conducted. Unmature placenta extended chorionic villi maturation, focused placental hemorrhages, false umbilical knots were significantly more frequent in group with hypertension and preeclampsia orland placented insuffi ciency (χ<sup>2</sup>=5.27; р=0.02; χ<sup>2</sup>=5.71; р=0.02; and χ<sup>2</sup>=5.71; р=0.02, respertively). Placentas associated with mild hypertension has vascular alteration disorders in presence of villous tree compensatory adaptation. There were several moderate correlation links: between endoflebitis, early chrionic villi maturation and cerebral disorders syndrome (r=0.68; р<0.05), among extended chorionic villi maturation, false umbilical knots, placental compensatory changes and neonatal hypoxic encephalopathy (r=0.68; p<0.05); between marginal umbilical foundation and neonatal cerebral ischemia (r=0.53; p<0.05); between placental inmaturation and fetal respiratory distress syndrome (r=0.85; p<0.05).
