Kidney function after a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy: A longitudinal study
American Journal of Kidney Diseases Jan 05, 2018
Paauw ND, et al. - This study was conducted to shed light on the impact of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) on the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or progression of kidney function decline. Data disclosed that HDPs did not detectably increase the incidence of CKD in a population of women without and with patient-reported HDPs, studied by researchers. Follow-up revealed no differences in albuminuria but a marginally lower estimated glomerular filtration rate after HDP that was no longer statistically significant after adjusting for the use of renin-angiotensin system blockers. Overall, a significant risk for kidney function decline after patient-reported HDP could not be identified in this population.
