Abstract
Maternal anemia is a common condition during pregnancy, with potential implications for both maternal and fetal health. This study investigates the impact of maternal anemia on placental morphology and structure, focusing on key parameters such as placental weight, volume, diameter, thickness, and the number of cotyledons. A total of 150 placentae were examined, comprising 120 from anemic pregnancies and 30 from normal pregnancies. The findings reveal significant differences between the two groups, with increased placental weight, volume, and diameter observed in anemic pregnancies. These alterations suggest compensatory mechanisms such as placental hypertrophy aimed at mitigating the effects of reduced oxygen supply to the fetus. However, a reduction in the number of cotyledons was noted in anemic pregnancies, which may impair placental function. These morphological changes underscore the placenta’s adaptive responses to maternal anemia, but also highlight the potential risks of complications such as intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight, and preterm birth. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection and management of anemia during pregnancy to optimize fetal health outcomes and reduce pregnancy-related risks
