Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Obstetrics
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Uremia from renal failure poses significant clinical challenges, particularly during pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy in patients with pre-existing chronic renal insufficiency and diabetes mellitus type 1 presents high risks for both mother and fetus.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old patient with a 27-year history of diabetes and diabetic nephropathy presented with preterminal renal failure during pregnancy.
  • She experienced severe hypertension, proteinuria, and azotemia, requiring intensive management.
  • Fetal hypoxia necessitated preterm delivery at 30 weeks gestation.

Findings:

  • Despite conservative therapy, azotemia and proteinuria remained elevated.
  • The newborn required resuscitation and experienced transient azotemia.

  • Maternal nitrogenous waste levels increased post-delivery, leading to initiation of chronic dialysis.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the critical risks of pregnancy in women with advanced chronic kidney disease and diabetes.
    • It highlights the complex management required, including potential need for renal replacement therapy.
    • Early consideration of dialysis and multidisciplinary care is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
