Summary The relationship between haematocrit, macroscopic and histological features of the placenta and fetal weight were studied in a group of 50 Nigerian patients; half of them had a low haematocrit at booking. The presence of a low haematocrit (28 per cent or less) was associated with higher placental weight, lower fetal weight, better fetal/placental weight correlation and more villous fibrosis than were found in control patients with a haematocrit of 35 per cent or more.
