description | Background: Kidney function impairment in pregnancy is challenging, with incidence and prognosis only partially known. Studies concerning maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies occurring in patients with renal injury and the therapeutic strategies for improving the prognosis of these patients are scarce due to the limited number of cases reported. Objectives: We aimed to establish correlations between the main maternal and fetal outcomes in patients with severe CKD or AKI in pregnancy to improve the prognosis, referring to a control group of patients with mild kidney impairment. Methods: For this purpose, we conducted a retrospective study, at University Emergency Hospital in Bucharest, Romania, from January 2019 until December 2021, selecting 38 patients with AKI and 12 patients diagnosed with advanced CKD, compared to 42 patients displaying borderline values of serum creatinine (0.8–1 mg/dL), reflecting the presence of milder kidney impairment. Results: The probability of having a child that is premature and small for gestational age, with a lower Apgar score and more frequent neonatal intensive care unit admissions, delivered by cesarean section, is higher in patients with highly reduced kidney function. Conclusion: Severe kidney function impairment is associated with a grim fetal prognosis and obstetrical complications. |
