Abstract

Anaemia in female during pregnancy is very common , it affects maternal blood , leading to hypoxia ,which cause changes in structure of Placenta. Aanemia also exert profound changes on the maternal circulatory system and has serious effects both on mother and fetus . Growth of the fetus is intricately linked with that of placenta , because of transfer of nutrients and oxygen through placenta . Microscopic study revealed histomorphological abnormalities due to hypoxia comprise of some changes in structure of placenta like increased capillaries per villous, thickening of capillary basement membrane and trophoblastic basement membrane , thickening of of syncytiotrophoblast , increased fibrosis and syncytial knots and appearance of vasculosyncytial membrane . All these changes occurred for maintaining sufficient efficiency of placenta due to compensatory phenomena , for fulfill demand of oxygen in the fetus .
