Abstract
Urinary tract morbidity has increased by 7% in Kazakhstan between 2007 to 2011. Pregnant women with extragenital pathologies or kidney diseases had the greatest prevalence of morbidity. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is one of the most important risk factors of pyelonephritis development in pregnant women, and it can affect the course and outcome of pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal period. AB prevention requires prevention of pregnancy complications including early diagnostic of urinary tract infections, timely optimization of therapy at outpatient facilities, and dynamic follow-up.
Highlights
There are numerous complications associated with Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB), little attention is paid to AB and latent pyelonephritis in pregnant women
One particular risk factor associated with an increase of urinary system infections and related complications is asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB)
AB means that a certain amount of bacteria is identified in properly collected urine samples taken from those who have no signs or symptoms of urinary system diseases in two consecutive tests taken within an interval of 1 to 2 weeks.[2,3]
Summary
Pregnant women with extragenital pathologies or kidney diseases had the greatest prevalence of morbidity. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is one of the most important risk factors of pyelonephritis development in pregnant women, and it can affect the course and outcome of pregnancy, delivery, and postnatal period. AB prevention requires prevention of pregnancy complications including early diagnostic of urinary tract infections, timely optimization of therapy at outpatient facilities, and dynamic follow-up. Delayed diagnostics and inadequate treatment of pyelonephritis and AB can result in chronic kidney disease, and over time, in chronic renal insufficiency.[6,7] The aim of this study was to examine the diagnosis and treatment of AB in pregnant women in city polyclinic no.
