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.
