Literature with regards to pregnancy related outcomes in persons with the presence of a solitary kidney of any cause is scarce. Most of the available information has been extrapolated from persons who have been renal donors. Unilateral renal agenesis affects 1 in 1500 people and can present with resistant hypertension. When a woman with a solitary kidney presents in pregnancy, it may be both a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Eplerenone, a selective aldosterone blocker has been prescribed for resistant hypertension and in the presence of pregnancy, been useful in persons with primary hyperaldosteronism and resistant hypertension due to obstructive sleep apnoea. We describe the use of Eplerenone in a patient with resistant hypertension in pregnancy, due to secondary hyperaldosteronism precipitated by renal agenesis.
关于因任何原因导致单肾的人群妊娠相关结局的文献很少。大多数现有信息是从肾捐赠者那里推断出来的。单侧肾发育不全影响1500人中的1人,可能表现为顽固性高血压。当单肾女性怀孕时,这可能是一个具有挑战性的诊断和治疗问题。依普利酮是一种选择性醛固酮阻滞剂,已被用于治疗顽固性高血压,在妊娠情况下,对原发性醛固酮增多症和阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停引起的顽固性高血压患者有用。我们描述了依普利酮在一名因肾发育不全导致继发性醛固酮增多症而患有妊娠顽固性高血压患者中的应用。
