[112-POS] : Increased post-partum prevalence of hypertension and renal dysfunction after preeclampsia

OBJECTIVES: Women with a history of preeclampsia (PE) are at increased risk of long term cardiovascular and end-stage renal diseases. However, follow up of preeclamptic women is often omitted, mainly due to a weakness of knowledge of maternal caregivers and lack of comprehensive guidelines. The aim of this study was to define the prevalence of albuminuria, high blood pressure, and renal dysfunction 6 weeks after a preeclampsia. METHODS: This is a prospective case-control study comparing women presenting with preeclampsia to an unmatched control group of women with no hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. A complete medical assessment was performed at 6 weeks post-partum. Recruitment started in June 2010. RESULTS: 324 women were included in the PE group and 50 in the control one. Characteristics of both groups and results of the medical work-up at 6 weeks post-partum are presented in Table 1. Women with preeclampsia presented with a higher BMI, higher prevalence of office high blood pressure, pathological albuminuria and renal hyper-filtration than women in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of post-partum hypertension, and renal dysfunction is higher in women with PE than in uncomplicated pregnancies. Systematic assessment of renal risk factors 6 weeks after preeclampsia allows identification of high-risk women and early implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies. DISCLOSURES: A.

The prevalence of accentuated palmoplantar markings and keratosis pilaris in atopic dermatitis, autosomal dominant ichthyosis and control dermatological patients.

The prevalence of keratosis pilaris and accentuated palmoplantar marking was evaluated in 61 patients with atopic dermatitis, 35 patients with dominant ichthyosis vulgaris and 247 other dermatological cases taken as controls. Our data showed that (1) these features are of no diagnostic significance for atopic dermatitis and (2) they are significantly more frequent in patients with ichthyosis vulgaris without associated eczema than in those with atopic dermatitis. Consequently, they should be considered as part of the phenotype of ichthyosis vulgaris rather than attributed to a concomitant atopic dermatitis as suggested by some. These findings should be taken into account when evaluating atopic dermatitis or ichthyosis. To assess the frequency of scaling under winter weather conditions, 155 control subjects were also examined for evidence of visible desquamation and 25.8% showed slight but definite scaling.
