Objective: The aim: to investigate the morphometric characteristics of placentas in women with comorbidity of preeclampsia and obesity compared to women with physiological body weight, and to assess the efficacy of the prophylactic therapy course developed to prevent the occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women with obesity.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 25 biopsy samples of placental tissue were taken from women between 37 and 40 weeks of gestation with a physiological body weight and with class II obesity. The women were divided into five groups of five women in each: the 1st group included women with physiological body weight without obstetric and somatic pathology; the 2nd group involved women with physiological body weight, whose pregnancy was complicated with preeclampsia; the 3rd group was made up of women with class II obesity whose pregnancy was complicated with preeclampsia; the 4th group consisted of women with class II obesity, who received the special prophylactic therapy course, and the 5th group included women with class II obesity, who did not receive the prophylactic therapy course.
