A nephrology work-up may be warranted for women who have pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.
In a study, preeclampsia developed in women with LN developed 9-fold more often than women with systemic lupus erythematosus and no renal involvement.
Association only evident when adjustment was made for all vascular risk factors over the life course
Risks for adverse pregnancy outcomes higher for severe infection versus mild infection
Investigators have developed a rodent model to explore changes in renal function early in pregnancy that predict problems such as preeclampsia, low infant birth weight, and miscarriage.
Association strongest for CVD-related mortality; association persisted even in the absence of chronic hypertension
Risk for preterm birth at 23 to 36 weeks up for those with prepregnancy creatinine >95th percentile
Increased cardiovascular risk evident soon after affected pregnancy
The risk of chronic kidney disease among women who experience preeclampsia is particularly elevated within 5 years of delivery.
