[Obstetric and neonatal complications in patients with various clinical types and morphologic forms of primary chronic glomerulonephritis].

Clinical progress and outcomes of 151 pregnancies have been evaluated in 123 patients with chronic primary glomerulonephritis (GN). The incidence of gestational and neonatal complications was evaluated for a relationship with preconception findings of proteinuria, hematuria, arterial pressure, blood creatinine and, in 45 women, histological patterns of disease. Major preconception proteinuria (over 3 g/day), hypertension, decreased renal function and especially clustering of these findings were prognostically poor. Gestational progress and outcomes in mesangiocapillary GN were worse as compared with mesangial proliferative GN.
