Impact of pre-conception kidney function on pregnancy outcomes
We identified that 1 in 10 pregnancies had an eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73m2, proteinuria or diagnosed kidney disease warranting further research focussing on preconception kidney function assessments. While these women were at an increased risk of some maternofetal outcomes, the absolute risk remains small.
