Background: Preeclampsia with severe features is an endothelial disease that causes renal system disorders during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is an important cause of acute kidney injury and risk for chronic kidney disease. Methods: This study was a case series conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, H. Adam Malik General Hospital Medan, Indonesia starting from December 2019 until January 2020. Total sampling technique was employed obtaining 31 subjects with a history of preeclampsia with severe features for at least 3 months to 2 years postpartum, without a history of chronic disease, diabetes mellitus, and congenital kidney disorders. Proteinuria, serum creatinine, and GFR calculations were performed. Results: There were 31 patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. At a time interval of 4 - ≤13 months postpartum, 2 levels of proteinuria +1 (0-2), serum creatinine 0.81 ± 0.21 mg/dl, and levels of GFR 109.57 ± 25.13 (ml/min/1.73 m ). Whereas at the time interval of >13 - 24 months postpartum, levels of proteinuria +1 (0-3), serum creatinine 0.85 ± 0.23 mg/dl, and GFR 2 levels of 104. 41 ± 28.45 (ml/min/1.73 m ). The mean of serum creatinine before delivery was 0.69 ± 0.15 mg/dl and after delivery was 0.83 ± 0.22 mg/dl. The mean of GFR postpartum at group of history of early onset preeclampsia was 103.07 ± 25.23 2 2 (ml/min/1.73 m ) and group of history of late onset preeclampsia was 113.40 ± 28.24 (ml/min/1.73 m ). Conclusion: There was a tendency for a decrease in renal function among women with a history of preeclampsia with severe features with ndings of persistent proteinuria from more than 3 to 24 months postpartum, an increase in mean of serum creatinine levels from before and after delivery and a decrease in GFR, but it was not signicant. This was related to the slow course of chronic kidney disease, so it had to be followed up periodically.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
