Abstract
OBJECTIVE Risk factors of early- and late-onset preeclampsia among pregnant individuals with chronic hypertension are not well described in the literature. We hypothesized that early- and late-onset superimposed preeclampsia (SIPE) have different risk factors. Therefore, we aimed to examine the risk factors of early- and late-onset SIPE among individuals with chronic hypertension. STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective case-control study of pregnant individuals with chronic hypertension who delivered at 22 weeks' gestation or greater at an academic institution. Early-onset SIPE was defined as SIPE diagnosed before 34 weeks' gestation. To identify risk factors, we compared individuals' characteristics between individuals who developed early- and late-onset SIPE and those who did not. We then compared characteristics between individuals who developed early-onset SIPE and late-onset SIPE. Characteristics with p-values of less than 0.05 by bivariable variables were analyzed by simple and multivariable logistic regression models to calculate crude and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Missing values were imputed with multiple imputation. RESULTS Of 839 individuals, 156 (18.6%) had early-onset, 154 (18.4%) had late-onset SIPE and 529 (63.1%) did not have SIPE. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that serum creatinine ≥ 0.7 mg/dL compared to less than 0.7 mg/dL (aOR: 2.89 [95% CI: 1.63-5.13]), increase of creatinine (1.33 [1.16-1.53]), nulliparity compared to multiparity (1.77 [1.21-2.60]), and pregestational diabetes (1.70 [1.11-2.62]) were risk factors for early-onset SIPE. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that nulliparity compared to multiparity (1.53 [1.05-2.22]) and pregestational diabetes (1.74 [1.14-2.64]) was a risk factor for late-onset SIPE. Serum creatinine ≥ 0.7 mg/dL (2.90 [1.36-6.15]) and increase of creatinine (1.33 [1.10-1.60]) were significantly associated with early-onset SIPE compared to late-onset SIPE. CONCLUSION Kidney dysfunction seemed to be associated with the pathophysiology of early-onset SIPE. Nulliparity and pregestational diabetes were common risk factors for both early- and late-onset SIPE. KEY POINTS · Serum creatinine level was positively associated with early-onset superimposed preeclampsia (SIPE).. · Pregestational diabetes and nulliparity were associated with both early- and late-onset SIPE.. · The identification of risk factors may provide an opportunity to decrease the rates of SIPE..

Al Khalaf SY, O'Reilly ÉJ, McCarthy FP, Kublickas M, Kublickiene K, Khashan AS. Pregnancy outcomes in women with chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension: a National cohort study. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2021; 225:298.e1-298.e20. [PMID: 33823152 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2021.03.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension have been linked with adverse pregnancy outcomes. We aimed to examine the association between these conditions and adverse pregnancy outcomes over the last 3 decades. OBJECTIVE We conducted this national cohort study to assess the association between maternal chronic disease (CH, CKD or both conditions) and adverse pregnancy outcomes with an emphasis on the effect of parity, maternal age, and BMI on these associations over the last three decades. We further investigated whether different subtypes of CKD had differing effects. STUDY DESIGN We used data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, including 2,788,490 singleton births between 1982 and 2012. Women with chronic kidney disease and chronic hypertension were identified from the Medical Birth Register and National Patient Register. Logistic regression models were performed to assess the associations between maternal chronic disease (chronic hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or both conditions) and pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia, in-labor and prelabor cesarean delivery, preterm birth, small for gestational age, and stillbirth. RESULTS During the 30-year study period, 22,397 babies (0.8%) were born to women with chronic kidney disease, 13,279 (0.48%) to women with chronic hypertension and 1079 (0.04%) to women with both conditions. Associations with chronic hypertension were strongest for preeclampsia (adjusted odds ratio, 4.57; 95% confidence interval, 4.33-4.84) and stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-2.03) and weakest for spontaneous preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 0.96-1.20). The effect of chronic kidney disease varied from (adjusted odds ratio, 2.05; 95% confidence interval, 1.92-2.19) for indicated preterm birth to no effect for stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio, 1.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.95-1.43). Women with both conditions had the strongest associations for in-labor cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.49-2.32), prelabor cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 2.18-3.28), indicated preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio, 9.09; 95% confidence interval, 7.61-10.7), and small for gestational age (adjusted odds ratio, 4.52; 95% confidence interval, 3.68-5.57). The results remained constant over the last 3 decades. Stratified analyses of the associations by parity, maternal age, and body mass index showed that adverse outcomes remained independently higher in women with these conditions, with worse outcomes in multiparous women. All chronic kidney disease subtypes were associated with higher odds of preeclampsia, in-labor cesarean delivery, and medically indicated preterm birth. Different subtypes of chronic kidney disease had differing risks; strongest associations of preeclampsia (adjusted odds ratio, 3.98; 95% confidence interval, 2.98-5.31) and stillbirth (adjusted odds ratio, 2.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.13-6.59) were observed in women with congenital kidney disease, whereas women with diabetic nephropathy had the most pronounced increase odds of in-labor cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 3.54; 95% confidence interval, 2.06-6.09), prelabor cesarean delivery (adjusted odds ratio, 7.50; 95% confidence interval, 4.74-11.9), and small for gestational age (adjusted odds ratio, 4.50; 95% confidence interval, 2.92-6.94). In addition, women with renovascular disease had the highest increased risk of preterm birth in both spontaneous preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio, 3.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.57-5.76) and indicated preterm birth (adjusted odds ratio, 8.09; 95% confidence interval, 5.73-11.4). CONCLUSION Women with chronic hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or both conditions are at an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes which were independent of maternal age, body mass index, and parity. Multidisciplinary management should be provided with intensive clinical follow-up to support these women during pregnancy, particularly multiparous women. Further research is needed to evaluate the effect of disease severity on adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are increasing in incidence and are major causes of maternal morbidity and mortality both in the United States and worldwide. An understanding of these diseases is essential for the practicing nephrologist, as preexisting kidney disease is an important risk factor. In addition, the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy has important implications for long-term risk of kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. The definition and diagnostic criteria has changed in recent years as our understanding of the disease entity has progressed. Currently, proteinuria is no longer a necessary diagnostic feature of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension may develop through multiple different mechanisms. Current research suggests contributions of both placental factors and maternal factors contribute to the disease and represent different phenotypic presentations of preeclampsia.

Pregnancy in Chronic Kidney Disease: Need for Higher Awareness. A Pragmatic Review Focused on What Could Be Improved in the Different CKD Stages and Phases. J Clin Med 2018; 7:E415. [PMID: 30400594 PMCID: PMC6262338 DOI: 10.3390/jcm7110415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 32] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2018] [Revised: 10/28/2018] [Accepted: 10/31/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Pregnancy is possible in all phases of chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its management may be difficult and the outcomes are not the same as in the overall population. The prevalence of CKD in pregnancy is estimated at about 3%, as high as that of pre-eclampsia (PE), a better-acknowledged risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. When CKD is known, pregnancy should be considered as high risk and followed accordingly; furthermore, since CKD is often asymptomatic, pregnant women should be screened for the presence of CKD, allowing better management of pregnancy, and timely treatment after pregnancy. The differential diagnosis between CKD and PE is sometimes difficult, but making it may be important for pregnancy management. Pregnancy is possible, even if at high risk for complications, including preterm delivery and intrauterine growth restriction, superimposed PE, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Results in all phases are strictly dependent upon the socio-sanitary system and the availability of renal and obstetric care and, especially for preterm children, of intensive care units. Women on dialysis should be aware of the possibility of conceiving and having a successful pregnancy, and intensive dialysis (up to daily, long-hours dialysis) is the clinical choice allowing the best results. Such a choice may, however, need adaptation where access to dialysis is limited or distances are prohibitive. After kidney transplantation, pregnancies should be followed up with great attention, to minimize the risks for mother, child, and for the graft. A research agenda supporting international comparisons is highly needed to ameliorate or provide knowledge on specific kidney diseases and to develop context-adapted treatment strategies to improve pregnancy outcomes in CKD women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is an uncommon form of glomerulonephritis and it can be particularly difficult to predict outcomes and manage women with this disorder during pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The management of 3 successful pregnancies in women with MPGN from 1 center and previously described cases from the world literature are reviewed. This includes a number of large studies of pregnancy in women with underlying glomerular disease as well as small case series and individual reports. Courses of these pregnancies, maternal and fetal outcomes, and management, when described, were included in this review. RESULTS Some successful outcomes used antiplatelet therapy and plasmapheresis, but high-dose intravenous, followed by oral, corticosteroid therapy was used most frequently in patients with successful outcomes. CONCLUSIONS The data provided is meant as a guide for clinicians who provide care for women with MPGN who are considering pregnancy or women who present with this disorder while pregnant.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 6% of women of childbearing age in high income countries, and is estimated to affect 3% of pregnant women. Advanced renal dysfunction, proteinuria, hypertension, and poorly controlled underlying primary renal disease are all significant risks for adverse maternal, fetal, and renal outcomes. In order to achieve the best outcomes, it is therefore of paramount importance that these pregnancies are planned, where possible, to allow the opportunity to counsel women and their partners in advance and to optimize these risks. These pregnancies should be deemed high risk and they require close antenatal monitoring from an expert multidisciplinary team. We discuss the effect of pregnancy on CKD, and also current guidelines and literature with specific reference to transplantation, autoimmune disease, and medication use in pregnancy. We also discuss the benefits of prepregnancy counseling and give practical recommendations to advise pregnant women with renal disease.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly encountered in pregnancy, and hypertension is frequently concomitant. In pregnancy, the prevalence of CKD is estimated to be about 3%, while the prevalence of chronic hypertension is about 5-8%. The prevalence of hypertension and CKD in pregnancy is unknown. Both are independently related to adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the clinical picture merges with pregnancy-induced hypertension and preeclampsia. Precise risk quantification is not available, but risks linked to CKD stage, hypertension, and proteinuria are probably multiplicative, each at least doubling the rates of preterm and early preterm delivery, small for gestational age babies, and related outcomes. Differential diagnosis (based upon utero-placental flows, fetal growth, and supported by serum biomarkers) is important for clinical management. In the absence of guidelines for hypertension in CKD pregnancies, the ideal blood pressure goal has not been established; we support a tailored approach, depending on compliance, baseline control, and CKD stages, with strict blood pressure monitoring. The choice of antihypertensive drugs and the use of diuretics and of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) are still open questions which only future studies may clarify.

Abstract
Renal injury or failure may occur in the context of pregnancy requiring special considerations with regard to fetal and maternal health. The condition of pregnancy itself may be a major factor in such injuries. In addition, for many young women previously known to be healthy, pregnancy may be the first presentation for routine urine and blood testing which may yield previously subclinical renal disease. As such, pregnancy may add complexity to considerations in the management of renal disease presenting coincidentally requiring knowledge of the physiologic changes and potential renal disorders that may be encountered during pregnancy.

Abstract
Air pollution particulate matter and engineered nanomaterials are encompassed in the broad definition of xenobiotic particles. While the effects of perinatal air pollution exposure have been investigated, elucidation of outcomes associated with nanomaterial exposure, the focus of this review, is still in its infancy. As the potential uses of nanomaterials, and therefore exposures, increase exponentially so does the need for thorough evaluation. Up to this point, the majority of research in the field of cardiovascular nanotoxicology has focused on the coronary and vascular reactions to pulmonary exposures in young adult, healthy, male models; however, as intentional and unintentional contacts persist, the non-pulmonary risks to under-represented populations become a critical concern. Development of the maternal-fetal circulation during successful mammalian gestation is one of the most unusual complex, dynamic, and acutely demanding physiological systems. Fetal development in a hostile gestational environment can lead to systemic alterations, which may encourage adult disease. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to highlight the few knowns associated with gestational engineered nanomaterial exposure segmented by physiological periods of development or systemic targets: preconception and maternal, gestational, fetal and progeny (Abstract figure). Overall, the limited studies currently available provide compelling evidence of maternal, fetal and offspring dysfunctions after engineered nanomaterial exposure. Understanding the mechanisms associated with these multigenerational effects may allow pregnant women to safely reap the benefits of nanotechnology-enabled products and assist in the implementation of exposure controls to protect the mother and fetus allowing for development of safety by design for engineered nanomaterials.
