Abstract EN
The effect of hypertension on the maturation process of the placenta which is detected by ultrasonography and the relation of different grades of placental maturity on the weight of newborn, was studded in a group of hypertensive pregnant ladies and was compared to a group of normotensive pregnant ladies as follow :- 1- 50 normotensive and 50 hypertensive women was examined by ultrasonography at three periods .
First between 29-32 weeks gestation, second between 33-35 weeks, and third after 36 weeks till 40 weeks gestation. 2- The weight of the infant after delivery was measured . We found that : 1.
The hypertension not cause an acceleration of the placental maturation. 2.
The grade of placental maturation after 36 weeks gestation is not correlated with newborn birth weight in hypertensive or normotensive pregnancies. 3.
Early advance maturation can happen in normotensive and hypertensive pregnancies and associated with low birth weight .
