The Spectrum of Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Based on Kidney Disease Diagnoses: A 20-Year Population Study.

CONCLUSIONS: In a cohort of > 1,300 women with varied kidney disorders, increased adverse obstetric and perinatal events were observed, and the nature and magnitude of risk differed according to diagnosis. In particular, vesicoureteric reflux is not a benign condition in pregnancy. Women with nonchronic conditions still had increased risk of preterm birth. We confirm that women with kidney disorders warrant vigilant and tailored prepregnancy care and clinical care in pregnancy. PMID: 30982041 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
