Factors Independently Linked to Renal Dysfunction in Preeclampsia

Overview

This study identifies independent factors associated with renal impairment in preeclampsia. Key findings indicate that renal impairment correlates with increased odds of significant complications during hospitalization.

Background

Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal morbidity and perinatal complications, affecting up to 10% of pregnancies worldwide. Renal impairment in preeclampsia is a critical indicator of systemic dysfunction.

Data Highlights

FactorAdjusted Odds Ratio (aOR)95% Confidence Interval (CI)
Early-onset PE1.681.02–2.78
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP)1.731.26–2.37
24-h Urinary Protein1.581.25–2.00
Serum Uric Acid-to-Creatinine Ratio0.360.26–0.51
Albumin0.870.81–0.94

Key Findings

  • Higher BMI, MAP, and uric acid levels are associated with renal impairment in preeclampsia.
  • Later gestational age, higher albumin, and higher platelet count are inversely associated with renal impairment.
  • Renal impairment is linked to a composite adverse maternal outcome with an aOR of 2.08.
  • Intensive care unit admission is significantly associated with renal impairment (aOR 3.39).
  • Renal impairment correlates with increased rates of eclampsia and adverse neonatal outcomes.

Clinical Implications

Monitoring renal function may be critical during hospitalization.

Conclusion

Renal impairment in preeclampsia serves as a significant marker for adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
