/in /by

Preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal death. In 2022, there will be 31 cases of preeclampsia in the Tarokan Community Health Center service area. Preeclampsia may have a negative impact on the mother and unborn baby. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between parity and the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women. This research method is analytical observational with a case control design, with a population of 50 data from pregnant women, sampling using a simple random sampling procedure with 25 respondents who experienced preeclampsia and 25 data who did not experience preeclampsia. The results of the chi-square test with a significance level of 0.05 show that the calculation results show a ρ value of (0.023).Conclusions of This study aims to determine the relationship between parity and the incidence of preeclampsia in pregnant women in the Tarokan Community Health Center working area, Kediri Regency. To recognize preeclampsia early, especially for pregnant women, it is recommended to frequently monitor their pregnancy and comply with integrated ANC.

Histopathologic Diagnosis of Diffuse Placental Chorangiosis in a Patient WHO Presented with Preeclampsia and Inevitable Abortion

/in /by

Reported cases of chorangiosis in the literature are few and its etiopathogenesis is not still not completely understood [1]. However, most cases are caused by prolonged placental under-perfusion and chronic hypoxia [1]. Chorangiosis is also referred to as “extreme villous hyper-vascularity”; it is diagnosed by “the presence of more than 10 capillaries in more than 10 terminal chorionic villi in several areas of the placenta”, usually in three or more microscopic high power fields [1]. Cases of chorangiosis are reportedly seen in up to 5–7% of examined placentas from infants admitted to newborn intensive care units for various reasons, with an attendant increase in neonatal morbidity and mortality [1]. One of the well-documented causes of chorangiosis is Preeclampsia [1], which is a known cause of placental hypoxia and hypoperfusion as seen in this index case.
