Pregnancy and CKD Approximate number of pregnancies per year in UK
Maternal and fetal risks Maternal risks Is pregnancy going to make my kidney disease worse? Fetal risks Will I take home a healthy baby?
Factors associated with adverse outcomes Baseline renal function?
Baseline renal function? p=0.027
Baseline renal function? * * ** **
Factors associated with adverse outcomes Baseline renal function - yes Baseline blood pressure?
Blood pressure? p=0.08 p=0.009
Blood pressure? • 43 pregnancies in 30 women with CKD (serum creatinine 110 to 490 μmol/l) • Hypertension was present from conception in 26 (60%). • Logistic regression identified uncontrolled hypertension at conception as an independent risk factor for fetal death • RR fetal death with MAP> 105mmHg at conception = 10.5 • Accelerated loss of maternal renal function in 7 patients, all of whom had hypertension • 168 pregnancies in 118 women with IgA nephropathy. • Perinatal mortality 33% in women with BP>140/90 versus 1% with BP<140/90 • (Hypertension not identified as a risk factor for progression of maternal disease.)

Factors associated with adverse outcomes Proteinuria ? Baseline renal function - yes Baseline blood pressure - yes
Proteinuria X Second trimester ACR>3mg/mmol Women without CKD OR 1.9 preterm delivery Second trimester ACR>20mg/mmol OR 4.7 preterm delivery Diabetes and hypertension Proteinuria > 3g/d Women with CKD Creat > 124μmol /l No impact on outcome Proteinuria < 3g/d Pregnancy (n=19) Women with CKD Proteinuria and pregnancy assoc with PALRF No pregnancy (n=31) Franceschini N et al.

Factors associated with adverse outcomes Proteinuria maternal? no fetal? yes Baseline renal function - yes Baseline blood pressure - yes Aetiology of kidney disease?
Aetiology of kidney disease? No convincing evidence of effect of aetiology on outcomes
Aetiology of kidney disease? SLE Renal dysfunction Antiphospholipid syndrome Anti-Ro antibodies Hypertension Medication All associated with adverse outcomes Not the “SLE” label itself
Aetiology of kidney disease? Reflux nephropathy Increased risk of UTI Neonatal morbidity and mortality Preterm labour Maternal mortality Increased risk of pyelonephritis
Aetiology of kidney disease? Diabetes

Management of CKD and hypertension in pregnancyUrinary tract infection …Antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteruria is indicated to reduce the risk of pyelonephritis in pregnancy… …Antibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteruria was associated with a reduction in the incidence of low birth weight babies (RR 0.66 (0.49-0.89))… Based on studies from 1960-1970s

Pregnancy and dialysis An average sized renal unit in the UK would expect to treat one pregnant patient on dialysis every four years
Pregnancy and dialysis How do you diagnosis pregnancy in a woman on dialysis? Amenorrhoea? Pregnancy test from Boots?
Pregnancy and dialysis How do you diagnosis pregnancy in a woman on dialysis? Intradialytic hypotension? Serum βhCG Early ultrasound Elevated Serum βhCG but no fetal heart beat? Serial βhCG Repeat ultrasound in 1-2 weeks
Pregnancy and dialysis Befriend an obstetrician • Fetal growth monitoring every 1 – 2 weeks • Liquor volume monitoring every 1 -2 weeks • CTG monitoring every dialysis session from 25 weeks
Pregnancy and dialysis PD? Yes! • Conception rates may be lower • Infection rates no higher • No contraindication to Caesarean
Pregnancy and dialysis HD? Yes! How much?
