    Pre-eclampsia is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy, characterized by significant proteinuria. Despite high proteinuria levels, most women with pre-eclampsia experienced complete recovery after delivery.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Obstetrics
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Pregnancy-induced hypertension and proteinuria are significant clinical concerns.
    • The nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy requires careful evaluation to distinguish causes.
    • Pre-eclampsia is a common hypertensive disorder of pregnancy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and outcomes of nephrotic syndrome in pregnancies complicated by hypertension.
    • To determine the association between pre-eclampsia and nephrotic-range proteinuria.
    • To assess long-term renal function in women with pre-eclampsia and heavy proteinuria.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 100 patients with hypertension during pregnancy undergoing renal biopsy.
    • Analysis of proteinuria levels (≥3.5 Gm/24 hours).

  • Follow-up of pre-eclamptic patients post-delivery to assess renal function.

    • Main Results:

    • 27 patients had proteinuria ≥3.5 Gm/24 hours; 23 had pre-eclampsia.
    • Pre-eclampsia was the most frequent cause of nephrotic syndrome in this cohort.
    • 10 pre-eclamptic patients were re-examined post-delivery; most had normal renal function (serum creatinine).
    • Four patients had other renal diseases; six normotensive women had heavy proteinuria.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre-eclampsia is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy.
    • Nephrotic-range proteinuria in pre-eclampsia may be more common than previously thought.
    • Complete renal recovery is typical for most women with pre-eclampsia and heavy proteinuria.
