[Examination of placenta by light and electron microscope in a woman patient with renal transplant (author's transl)].
The placenta of a woman who had received a renal graft before she became pregnant was examined. The light- and electronmicroscopical results were as follows: 1. Enlargement of the granulated endoplamatic reticulum in the syncytium. 2. Increase of the syncytial knots. 3. Persistence of exceeding numbers of Langhans cells. These alterations coinciding with the immune suppressive therapy might play a role for the initiation of the growth retardation as observed in children of renal-grafted mothers.
