Background

CKD affects up to 6% of women of childbearing age. Despite that adverse obstetric outcomes are common in CKD pregnant women, the number of successful preganancies has increased over time, especially in high-income countries. We report outcomes in CKD pregnant women, followed at our integrated Obstetric and Renal Clinic.

Methods

Prospective study in CKD pregnant women followed between June 2013-December 2017. CKD was defined as per KDIGO guidelines. Dialysis was initiated when BUN was ≥ 45 mg/dL or when RRT was clinically indicated. Outcomes were compared between patients who required RRT vs conservative treatment.

Results

Table 1

Conclusion

Poor CKD pregnant women have a high rate of adverse obstetric outcomes. However, an integrated nephrological and obstetric prenatal care throughout all stages of CKD, could lead to successful pregancies, even in resource-constrained settings like ours.
