Clinical course and prognosis of chronic kidney diseases in pregnancy
Abstract
Pregnancy in women with chronic kidney disease is mostly successful when kidney function is well and hypertension is absent. Counseling and managing women with chronic renal diseases is based on the following general approach: fertility and ability to sustain an uncomplicated pregnancy relate to the degree of functional impairment, and whether hypertension is present, and not to underlying disorder. Only in some diseases, such as sclerodermia, poliarteriitis nodosa, lupus flare and definite forms of chronic glomerulonephritis, underlying disorder play the main role, as well as renal failure and malignant hypertension.
