[Morphofunctional placental characteristics in pregnant women with chronic pyelonephritis and urogenital chlamydia infection].

Morphological features of the placenta were studied in women with chronic pyelonephritis and urogenital chlamydial infection. There was an appreciable amount of chaotic sclerotic villi and symplastic nephroses reflecting compensatory-adaptive processes. Morphometric study of the afterbirths has shown that placenta affected with urogenital infection has large area of the intervillous space and small area of chorionic villi involved in gas exchange, supply of nutrients and other components to the fetus.
