Repeated pregnancies in patients with non-immunoglobulin A mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis

Aim: To analyze the effect of repeated pregnancies on underlying MesGN and see the reciprocal effect on maternal and fetal outcome. Patients and Methods: Pregnancy records of cases with histological diagnosis of MesGN were reviewed, and past medical histories recorded. Results: Cesarean section (CS). Only two patients developed renal insufficiency after undergoing 5 and 11 pregnancies and follow-up of 9 and 20 years respectively. Conclusion: The outcome of repeated pregnancies in patients with MesGN is comparable to normal deliveries. A higher incidence of pre-eclampsia, LBW babies and CS was noted in the post- compared to the pre-MesGN pregnancies. Repeated pregnancies do not influence the course of the MesGN.
