Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: assessing the incidence of preeclampisa (PE) in women with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and analyzing the significance of clinical characteristics and changes in laboratory findings throughout the pregnancy on the onset of PE. Methods: the study included 79 patients with DKD. All patients had elevated urinary protein loss (30–299 mg/24 h) or proteinuria (≥300 mg/24 h) in the first trimester of pregnancy. PE was diagnosed in 22,8% patients with DKD. Results: women with proteinuria and/or proliferative retinopathy at the admission developed preeclampsia significantly more frequently than those without these findings. The degree of proteinuria was significantly associated with the risk of PE development in each trimester of pregnancy. Patients with chronic hypertension developed PE significantly more frequently than those who had no chronic hypertension. Conclusion: chronic hypertension and the degree of primary kidney injury and dysfunction are crucial determinants of PE development in women with DKD. Proteinuria seems to be the best renal predictive factors of PE.
