seenaa alsadyi To understand and demonstrate appropriate knowledge, skills and attitudes in relation to pregnant women with kidney disease.
Understand the epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology,
clinical characteristics, prognostic features and management of women with kidney disease. Appreciate the importance of preconceptual counselling and its impact on improving pregnancy outcomes Understand the impact of renal disease on pregnancy. . 1. Kidney enlarges during pregnancy. 2.increase circulating hormones (progesterone) & mechanical (pressure of pregnant uterus on bladder ) will lead to dilatation of ureters & pelvi – calcyeal system (97% had hydronephrosis ).This occur from the first trimester , more on right side - stasis – increase UTI (asym.&symptomatic bacteruria ) . 3. Vesico- ureteric reflux occurs in 3% will lead to increase incidence of pyelonephritis in pregnancy. 50% increase in R.P.F & G.F.R from the first trimester. Increase G.F.R will lead to glycosuria 10 times more than non pregnant .2/3 had glycosuria. Increase GFR will lead to decrease blood urea & uric acid due to increase renal clearance. Risk of pregnancy will depend on:- 1. Rate of disease progress. 2. Amount of renal damage. 3. Hypertension is a major risk factor. CKD is classified into five stages based on the level of renal function. Women with CKD stages 1–2 have mild renal dysfunction and usually have an uneventful pregnancy and good renal outcome. Women with moderate to severe disease (stages 3–5) are at highest risk of complications during pregnancy and of an accelerated decline in their renal function. Safe contraception until pregnancy advised. Fertility issues if indicated. Genetic counselling if inherited disorder. Risks to mother and fetus during pregnancy. Avoid known teratogens and contraindicated drugs. Treatment of blood pressure and adjustment of antihypertensives. Low-dose aspirin. Need for anticoagulation once pregnant in women with significant proteinuria. possibility of accelerated decline in maternal renal function. need for postpartum follow-up. Frequent ANC check B.P to detect H.T or superimposed P.E.T. MSG to detect UTI should be treated and proteinuria. Full blood count: haemoglobin; ferritin.
Renal function: creatinine.
Renal ultrasound.
U/S to detect IUGR (common sequale).
Deterioration of renal function, if more than 15- 20% needs immediate delivery. The incidence of pregnancy on dialysis (stage 5 CKD) is increasing. Dialysis must be adjusted to allow for the physiological changes of pregnancy (plasma volume, fluid retention, electrolytes), and haemodialysis is usually more effective than peritoneal dialysis in achieving this. Complications include preterm delivery, polyhydramnios (30–60%), pre-eclampsia (40– 80%) and caesarean delivery (50%). 0.3 /1000 pregnant. Single x-ray for the purpose of diagnosis is not contraindicated at any stage of pregnancy. Treatment is conservative: - I.V fluid, AB & systemic analgesia. Usually non- obstructive stone:-AB until after delivery. Obstructive stone: - need surgery. Commonest cause in pregnancy is UTI. Other causes: - stone, tumors must be excluded by renal U/S or cystoscopy. 1. Important the transplanted kidney should be stable, so wait 18 months after transplantation prior to pregnancy. 2. Women should be normotensive prior to pregnancy even by therapy. 3. Immunosuppressive treatment should be at maintenance dose. Tacrolimus, azathioprine, ciclosporin and prednisolone are generally considered safe in pregnancy and for the breastfed infant. mycophenolate and sirolimus should be avoided in transplant recipients considering pregnancy . and women should be switched to alternative regimes before pregnancy; a period of 3–6 months’ stability on a new medication regime prior to pregnancy is advised. 4. Most important that renal function should be adequate to allow increase demand of pregnancy. 5. Risk associated with pregnancy:- a.H.T, renal failure,& infection (CMV& herpes due to immunpsuppresion). B.preterm delivery 50%. C.IUGR 20%. U/o less than 400 ml /day. The common obstetrical causes: - septic abortion, severe PET, abruption, placenta previa & PPH. Treatment: - I.V fluid monitored by CVP, AB, corticosteroid & renal dialysis. Common in pregnancy .8% of Pregnant women had asymptomatic, (100000 organism/ml of urine).If untreated, half (50%) will develop pyelonephritis. All bacteriuria in pregnancy requires treatment to prevent pyelonephritis and preterm delivery (Cochrane guideline A) ¨ Oral antibiotics ¨ Amoxicillin 500 mg three times daily ¨ Cefadroxil 500 mg twice daily ¨ Cephalexin 250 mg three times daily ¨ Nitrofurantoin 100 mg three times daily (not third trimester) ¨ Trimethoprim 200 mg twice daily (not first trimester) ¨ Intravenous antibiotics for pyelonephritis ¨ Cefuroxime 750 mg to 1.5 g three times daily ¨ Amoxicillin 1 g three times daily ¨ Gentamicin 5–7 mg/kg daily as one dose and then further doses as determined by serum gentamicin concentrations (for organisms resistant to, or women allergic to, penicillins and cephalosporins) ¨ Duration of treatment ¨ Asymptomatic bacteriuria: 3 days ¨ Acute cystitis: 7 days ¨ Pyelonephritis: 10–14 days ¨ Prophylaxis of UTI ¨ Cephalexin 250 mg once daily ¨ Amoxicillin 250 mg once daily 1-2% of pregnancy .Fever, loin pain, vomiting .Increase preterm labour, & IUGR. Treatment: hospital Admission, MSG: microscopy & culture, but AB starts immediately (usually start I.V 1. AB: ampicilline or cephalosporin, sometime amino glycoside may be needed. 2. I.V fluid 1.5-2 litters /day. 3. Systemic analgesia. Increase frequency of micturition (7 times/day). Increase nocturia (2 night voids). Causes (combination)I 1. Pressure effect of pregnant uterus on the bladder. 2. Increase bladder capacity from 12-32 weeks up to 1300ml. 3. ↑ Urine production especially in 1st & 2nd trimesters ¨ 67% of pregnant get stress incontinence. ¨ More common in multiparous. ¨ In most cases reversible & resolve postpartum. ¨ During pregnancy the cause is detrusor instability, & in postpartum period the cause is genuine stress incontinence because of pelvic floor denervation (stretching of the supporting structures as a result of labour may lead to damage & weakening of the sphincter mechanism). ¨ ¨ During pregnancy:- ¨ Urinary retention at 14-16 weeks by retroverted uterus incancerated in the pelvis. ¨ Treatment by catheter drainage, patient lie prone, occasionally uterus manipulated under anesthesia. ¨ ¨ During labour:- ¨ Causes of retention are epidural, prolonged traumatic delivery, forceps. ¨ Treatment by catheterization. ¨ ¨ Obstructed prolonged labour lead to tissue necrosis. ¨ Small fistula may heal spontaneously by continuous catheter drainage & AB. ¨ Large fistula: need surgical repair after 10- 12weeks so that edema & infection resolved. ¨ Low fistula: repair vaginally. ¨ High fistula or complex fistula: need abdominal operation. ¨ Thank you
