ABSTRACT

Objective: The prime objective of the study is to compare and evaluate the morphological alteration in umbilical cord of normal and hypertensive pregnancies.
Materials and Methods: A total sample of 60 umbilical cord with placentae were collected for the study and various parameters like the length, diameter, site of insertion and the number of vessels were taken and compared between normal(group A) and gestational hypertension (group B) statistically.
Results: It was observed that, in group A we found the length of the umbilical cord, diameter of the cord and number of vessels to be31.4610.49, 1.36± 0.39, 3± 0.12 and in group B the values were 31.03± 10.94, 1.36±0.39, 2.95±0.25 respectively. No material variations were seen statistically in terms of length, diameter, site of insertions and the number of vessels between the two groups.
Conclusion: The study reveals that the morphological parameter of umbilical cord shows no significant changes in the dimension of the gestational hypertensive umbilical cords as compared to the controlled cases.
KEY WORDS: Umbilical cord, Hypertensive Pregnancies, gestational hypertension.
