  • Title: Pregnancy in women with renal disease. Part II: specific underlying renal conditions.
    Author: Vidaeff AC, Yeomans ER, Ramin SM.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 2008 Aug; 25(7):399-405. PubMed ID: 18720321.
    Abstract:
    The obstetric outcome in women with kidney disease has improved in recent years due to continuous progress in obstetrics and neonatology, as well as better medical management of hypertension and renal disease. However, every pregnancy in these women remains a high-risk pregnancy. When considering the interaction between renal disease and pregnancy, maternal outcomes are related to the initial level of renal dysfunction more than to the specific underlying disease. With regards to fetal outcomes, though, a distinction may exist between renal dysfunction resulting from primary renal disease and that in which renal involvement is part of a systemic disease. In part II of this review, some specific causes of renal failure affecting pregnancy are considered.
