Pregnancy History and Kidney Disease Progression Among Women Enrolled in Cure Glomerulonephropathy.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Preeclampsia increases the risk for future chronic kidney disease (CKD). Among those diagnosed with CKD, it is unclear whether a prior history of preeclampsia, or other complications in pregnancy, negatively impact kidney disease progression. In this longitudinal analysis, we assessed kidney disease progression among women with glomerular disease with and without a history of a complicated pregnancy.
