Pregnancy complicated by diabetic nephropathy.

D Dicker, D Feldberg, D Peleg

    Journal of Perinatal Medicine
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Managing diabetes in pregnancy, especially with diabetic nephropathy, requires strict blood sugar control. Pregnancy generally does not worsen kidney function in these patients, but hypertension remains a risk.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Nephrology
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Diabetes mellitus poses significant risks during pregnancy.
    • Diabetic nephropathy complicates pregnancy, increasing risks for both mother and fetus.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on five cases of pregnancy complicated by long-standing diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
    • To analyze the impact of pregnancy on renal status in diabetic women with nephropathy.
    • To identify factors contributing to improved perinatal outcomes in complicated diabetic pregnancies.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series reporting on five pregnancies in women with diabetes and nephropathy.
    • Monitoring of maternal renal function (creatinine clearance, proteinuria).
    • Assessment of pregnancy outcomes, including fetal development and delivery.

    Main Results:

    • Four out of five patients delivered healthy babies; one experienced a spontaneous abortion.
    • Pregnancy did not adversely affect renal status in the majority of patients.
    • Proteinuria did not appear to increase pregnancy risks.
    • Hypertension was identified as a significant risk factor independent of glycemic control.

    Conclusions:

    • Strict normoglycemia is crucial before and during pregnancy for women with diabetes and nephropathy.
    • Pregnancy's impact on renal function in these patients is often minimal.
    • Multifaceted management, including fetal monitoring and neonatal care, improves perinatal outcomes.
