This book explores the most up-to-date evidence on all aspects of diagnosis and management in women with renal problems before, during and after pregnancy. The chapters describe many of the issues likely to be faced in clinical practice, providing valuable information for all healthcare professionals working in this field.
The text stems from the 54th RCOG Study Group on renal disease in pregnancy, which allowed specialists in many disciplines to sift the most up-to-date evidence on all aspects of diagnosis and management in women with renal problems before, during and after pregnancy. The chapters describe many of the issues likely to be faced in clinical practice, providing valuable information for all healthcare professionals working in this field.
General principles for optimal management are clearly defined and separate chapters are devoted to specific disease entities and/or clinical situations. Many controversial areas – management of hypertension, diagnosis of pre-eclampsia, assisted conception, the rationalisation of the many medications used in nephrological practice, renal biopsy, surgical emergencies, patient input and responsibilities – are carefully considered.
Much progress has been made in the last two decades but there still remains a paucity of investigative data behind many of the conflicting arguments. This text is a timely review which will be of interest to all health practitioners with an interest in renal disease and women’s health.
