Background
Preeclampsia increases risk for future CKD, possibly through sustained endothelial and podocyte dysfunction. Utilizing CureGN, a longitudinal glomerular disease cohort study, we assessed if complicated pregnancy history was associated with disease progression.
Methods
Adult women were classified based on self-reported history of complicated pregnancy (worsening blood pressure, worsening kidney function, increased proteinuria, preeclampsia, eclampsia, or HELLP), pregnancy without these complications, or no pregnancy prior to CureGN enrollment. Linear mixed models assessed associations between complicated pregnancy history and eGFR trajectory as well as UPCR from enrollment.
Results
Of 780 women with median follow-up of 32 months, the adjusted eGFR decline [95% CI] was faster in women with a history of complicated pregnancy compared to those without complications or no pregnancy (-2.1 [-2.9, -1.4] vs -0.9 [-1.4, -0.5] and -0.7 [-1.3, -0.1] mL/min/1.73m2 per year, p = 0.01) (Figure). Proteinuria trend did not differ significantly by pregnancy history. Among women with complicated pregnancy (n=124), eGFR slope did not differ significantly by timing of first complicated pregnancy relative to GN diagnosis.
Conclusion
A history of complicated pregnancy, occurring at any length of time from GN diagnosis, was associated with faster eGFR decline following CureGN enrollment. A detailed obstetric history may inform counseling regarding disease progression in women with GN. Continued research is warranted to identify biological pathways between complicated pregnancy and progressive glomerular disease.
