[Morphofunctional characteristics of uterine muscle in pregnant patients with hypochromic anemia].
Examinations of the myometrium wall samples of the uterine lower segment and upper section, obtained in cesarean section, carried out in 66 women with hypochromic anemia before labor (n = 26) and during the first period of labor (n = 40) have shown that even in light anemia forms dyscirculatory and destructive dystrophic changes are detectable in all myometrium layers, the intensity of these changes correlating with anemia graveness. In cases with second- and third-degree anemia sclerosis of the stroma and vascular wall developed, besides the aforesaid changes. Immunocompetent cells contributed to the development of this condition, particularly so in women with a history of multiple labor and in mothers aged over 30. The detected disorders in metabolic and biosynthetic processes and in lipid metabolism in the myometrium evidenced cellular membrane injuries and slowered oxidation processes in the myometrium.
