Pregnancy Guide, Kidney Disease in Pregnancy ~ Pregnancy Guide

During pregnancy, more blood flows to the kidneys as they work harder to filter waste products faster to take care of the needs of both the woman and her fetus. If a woman’s kidneys are weakened from a previous disease or do not work properly, it could have an effect on her pregnancy. With proper medical treatment, however, risks usually can be reduced. Some disorders that affect the kidney are linked with high blood pressure. If the blood pressure can be controlled, the risk of problems during pregnancy is reduced.

Kidney disease can usually  be diagnosed on the basis of your medical history, physical exam, and blood and urine tests. Protein in the urine may be a sign of kidney disease. It can be caused by diseases that interfere with kidney function. Urinary tract infections and high blood pressure in a pressure in a previous pregnancy also are signs that require further evaluation.
