Twenty-four-hour proteinuria levels are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with CKD.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proteinuria is commonly measured to assess the renal status of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients before the 20th week of gestation during pregnancy. High levels of proteiuria have been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, researchers have not clearly determined what baseline proteinuria levels would be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to analyse associations between proteinuria levels and adverse pregnancy outcomes among CKD patients treated with or without steroids/immunosuppressive therapy in early pregnancy.

Methods

This retrospective study included the clinical information of 557 pregnant patients with CKD from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2021. A multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to evalu
