Alteration in blood vessels of the placenta, decidua and circulatory system of the fetus might be related to factors that cause preeclampsia and may be associated with alterations of the umbilical cord. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between each type of umbilical cord abnormality and the different subtypes of hypertensive gestational disorders. METHODS: We conducted a prospective study on consecutive autopsies and its placentas, looking for abnormalities in the umbilical cord's features and their clinical associations. RESULTS: Umbilical cord abnormalities including length, diameter, insertion, entanglements, knots and coils were associated with maternal gestational hypertension. CONCLUSION:Inwomen with gestational hypertension, umbilical cord abnormalities are associated with fetal and neonatal consequences. © 2016 IOS Press and the authors.Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/article10.3233/NPM-16814108EclampsiaGestational hypertensionHELLP syndromePlacentaPregnancyAdultArticleChronic diseaseChronic hypertensionDisease associationEclampsiaEmbryoFemaleFetusHumanHypercoiling umbilical cordHypocoiling umbilical cordMajor clinical studyMaleMarginal umbilical cord insertionMaternal hypertensionParamarginal umbilical cord insertionPreeclampsiaPrematurityPriority journalSingle umbilical arterySuperimposed preeclampsiaUmbilical cordUmbilical malformationAbnormalitiesAutopsyColombiaFetal Growth RetardationFetomaternal transfusionLesions and defectsNewbornPathologyPlacentaPreeclampsiaPregnancyProspective studyVascularizationAdultAutopsyColombiaDilatation, PathologicFemaleFetal Growth RetardationHumansInfant, NewbornMaleMaternal-Fetal ExchangePlacentaPre-EclampsiaPregnancyProspective StudiesUmbilical Cordinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB564612963005718874357357188741911571887474295718873757153871077300
