- Title
Pregnancy in renal disease.
- Authors
Jungers, Paul; Chauveau, Dominique
- Abstract
The article focuses on the occurrence of renal diseases during pregnancy. Until the 1980's, opinions conflicted concerning the reciprocal influence of kidney disease on the outcome of pregnancy and of pregnancy on the natural course of maternal renal disease. Fetal prognosis is not determined by the type of glomerular disease per se, but by the presence or absence of risk factors associated with nephropathy namely nephrotic range proteinuri, hypertension and impaired renal function present at conception or early in pregnancy. Reflux nephropathy is one of the most common renal diseases most encountered in women of childbearing age.
