Pregnancy May Be an Opportunity to Diagnose Kidney Disease

During pregnancy there is a renal adaptation that can interfere in glomerular physiology and the manifestation or exacerbation of glomerulopathies may be the result of this period. Women diagnosed with glomerulopathies who become pregnant are not only subject to worse fetal and maternal prognosis, but also to develop long-term chronic kidney disease resulting from some obstetric complications. There is a shortage of studies that contribute to optimize medical follow-up with nephrologists and obstetricians from preconception to the postpartum period, contributing to early diagnosis and preventing the progression of renal dysfunction.
