Summary

Renal disease complicates a small proportion of pregnancies worldwide. The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pregnancy is declining worldwide as a result of improved surveillance, identification, and management of preeclampsia, hemorrhage, and septic complications. Conversely, more women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are contemplating pregnancy. This is a result of (a) increased recognition of early CKD because of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting, (b) increasing maternal age in many parts of the world, and (c) improved maternal outcomes from renal diseases and treatments that might have led to impaired fertility in the past.
