Corelation of placental weight and fetal outcome in pregnancy induced hypertension

Placenta is a choriodecidual structure developed during pregnancy and is the organ of exchange between the foetus and mother for the purpose of physiological exchange. A study of placental morphology is an indicator of the fact that whether the foetus was compromised in intrauterine life. It also acts as an effective index by examination of which we can predict the status of foetus in neonatal life as it can act as an indicator to the overall development of the foetus in cases of pregnancy induced hypertension.
