Renal screening detects abnormalities in ~5-20% of chronic hypertensive pregnancies; leaves open whether cystatin C refines risk stratification or outcomes prediction.
Observational (n=103)
Pregnant women with chronic hypertension have a notable incidence of renal abnormalities and high rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth and superimposed preeclampsia.
Silva et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Chronic hypertension in pregnancy (n=103). Chronic hypertension was evaluated on Renal abnormalities and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Among pregnant women with chronic hypertension, elevated serum creatinine occurred in 19.6% and superimposed preeclampsia-eclampsia in 24.7%.
