Cureus. 2023 Aug 1;15(8):e42827. doi: 10.7759/cureus.42827. eCollection 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome in pregnancy is associated with challenges for both patients and physicians. Early recognition is crucial, and when appropriate, renal biopsy should be considered to differentiate preeclampsia from other causes of glomerulopathies. Pregnancy in a woman with nephrotic syndrome is high risk, and more data are needed to highlight pregnancy outcomes.

Keywords: membranous nephropathy; nephrotic syndrome; nephrotic-range proteinuria; pla2r; pregnancy.
