Effect of pregnancy on the kidney Increased plasma volume Increased intravascular volume Increased GFR Increased intraglomerular pressure Hyponatremia is frequently seen Hypokalemia can be seen
![Page 2: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Pregnancy and renal disease Hormonal changes contribute to these
changes Pregnant ladies gain 12 to 16 kilograms of
weight mostly fluids Serum creatinine and BUN decreases in
pregnancy Normal serum creatinine can be a sign of a
significant renal disease Pregnancy affect renal disease and renal
disease affect the outcome of pregnancy
![Page 3: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pregnancy and renal disease Pregnancy is associated in a decline in renal
function in 1 -- 10% of cases when GFR is mildly reduced at the beginning of pregnancy Cr less than 1.5 mg/dl
The rise in Cr is seen at the third trimester Transient decline in renal function may be seen
![Page 4: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Moderate renal impairment Women with moderate renal
insufficiency ( Cr between 1.5 and 2.9 mg/dl )
In these patients there is a decline of Cr in the first trimester but rise above base line level as the pregnancy progress

Some patients may have permanent decline in renal function
In the previous study 10% of the women progressed to end stage renal disease
The risk was highest in patients with a serum Cr above 2 mg/dl
The risk of permanent decline in renal function is highest in the presence of uncontrolled hypertension
![Page 7: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Once serum creatinine exceed 3 mg /dl most women have amenorrhea or anovulatory cycles making the likelihood of pregnancy very small
Some studies showed some link between the type of renal disease and outcome being worse in MPGN and reflux nephropathy
![Page 8: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Effect of kidney disease on pregnancy Fetal survival is lowest with uncontrolled
hypertension The relative risk of fetal death tenfold
higher in women with a mean blood pressure greater than 105 mmHg
The risk of prematurity is increased when serum creatinine exceed 1.4 mg/dl
Preterm delivery is not uncommon
![Page 9: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There is an increased risk of pre-eclampsia with increased fetal and maternal morbidity
Pre-eclampsia might be more difficult to diagnose in the presence of baseline proteinuria and hypertension
In this situation worsening of proteinuria and hypertension might be a clue to the diagnosis
![Page 10: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pregnancy in the dialysis patient The frequency of conception in this
group is .3 to 1.5 % per year There is increase fetal wastage in this
group
Blood pressure and anemia may become more difficult to control in this group
![Page 11: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Dialysis and pregnancy There is improvement in the survival
compared to old reports because of More intense dialysis with BUN below 17
mmol/l 50 mg/dl ( almost daily dialysis )
Higher dose of EPO is required to provide adequate red cell mass
Metabolic acidosis and hypocalcaemia should be corrected
![Page 14: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pregnancy and dialysis Careful uterine and fetal monitoring during
dialysis and through out the whole pregnancy
Avoid hypotension during dialysis since this may provoke uterine contraction and fetal loss
Nutritional status and dry weight should be assessed on frequent bases since intradialytic weight gain can be confused with the usual weight gain in pregnancy
![Page 15: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dialysis and fetal size In spite of optimal therapy mothers
are at increased risk of sever hypertension and premature delivery with a mean gestational age of 30 weeks
If the patient is a good potential candidate for transplant it is better to delay pregnancy tell she is transplanted
![Page 16: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Case presentation A 24 year old saudi lady found to
have raised creatinine when she was evaluated for primary infertility and a diagnosis of ESRD was made
Her renal function continued to deteriorate and she was put on regular hemodialysis
A cadaver transplant was done
![Page 17: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Case presentation The transplant was successful and her
serum Cr was around 1.2 mg/dl She was maintained on azathioprine
steroids and cyclosporine She became pregnant 18 months post
transplant with a full term twins Serum Cr post delivery was 1.3 mg One year later her serum Cr was 1.4 She became pregnant
![Page 18: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Case presentation Hb before gestation was 9.4 gm Hb decreased to 7.8 gm with more
symptoms EPO was added and her anemia
improved with Hb of 11 at the time of delivery
The outcome of the pregnancy was successful

Renal transplant Fertility return after transplant with a
pregnancy success rate of more than 90% after the first trimester
There is slight increase in spontaneous abortion and intrauterine growth retardation
Pregnancy has no important early effect on renal function and affected by the same factors in pregnancy in patients with renal impairment
![Page 21: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Renal transplant Women are advised to wait one year after
living related transplant and tow years post cadaver transplant to avoid complications arising from rejection
Neither low dose prednisolone or azathioprine appear to have adverse effect on the fetus
The obstetrician should review the operative notes to confirm the location of the graft
![Page 22: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
cyclosporine Cyclosporine may aggravate or induce
hypertension during pregnancy Cyclosporine does not appear to be a
major teratogen Cyclosporine metabolism is increased
during pregnancy and higher doses may be required to achieve adequate levels however there is controversy regarding adjusting the dose
![Page 23: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mycophenolate mofetil MMF should not be used in pregnancy
as animal studies showed adverse effect on the fetus
Patient that are welling to get pregnant should be converted to azathioprine
![Page 24: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sirolimus (Rapamycin ) Sirolimus is contraindicated in
pregnancy and should discontinued at least 12 weeks prior to pregnancy
Cyclosporine should be used during gestation but once delivered sirolimus can be restarted
![Page 25: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tacrolimus (prograf ) Kains reviewed 100 pregnancies in
84 women treated on prograf 27% were renal transplant recipients 68% progressed to alive birth Four babies had malformations

Obstetrical mangement Increase frequency of prenatal visit Early treatment of a symptomatic
bacteriuria Monthly renal function Close monitoring for the development
of pre eclampsia

SLE SLE occur frequently in women in
child bearing age SLE patients are usually as fertile as
other patients but their pregnancy is associated with more complication
The prognosis is best for both the mother and fetus if SLE is quiescent for at least 6 months
![Page 28: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Exacerbation of the disease
50% of patients will exacerbate their disease during pregnancy
Flares occur in all three trimester and in the immediate postpartum period
![Page 30: Effect of pregnancy on the kidney](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/568167d9550346895ddd338f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Ruiz prospectively evaluated 40 pregnancies in 37 patients with SLE
Flare up occurred in 24 cases 60%
Compared to the rates of flare up post delivery the rate is higher
Flare up mainly as nephritis and arthritis

Lupus nephritis There is increased risk of fetal loss Increased risk of worsening renal
function as well as other manifestations of the disease
Sever renal impairment requiring dialysis may occur
Pre existing hypertension and azotemia are associated with worse prognosis

Hypertension and pregnancy ACE inhibitors and ARBs are
contraindicated during pregnancy since uterine and placental ischemia may occur
Nitroprusside should be avoided (fetal cyanide poisinig)
