Résumé:
Kidneys are vital organs for human beings due to their purifying role. Every kidney contains around a million nephrons. Indeed, a simple pathology of this unit will result in a nephropathy which over time and complications may lead to chronic renal failure. In addition, even if woman’s fertility diminshes with the progression of renal insufficiency, we are faced with a pregnancy associated to this pathology. This pregnancy is considered as a pregnancy at risk considering the complications that it causes leading to the fetal death. This research work aims at identifying the risk factors in the pregnant woman with a renal failure and, eventually, avoiding the complications by comparing normal biological parameters with pathologies. The parameters studied are: urea, creatinine, uric acid, hemoglobin, calcium, sodium and potassium. The results obtained show that a pregnancy during renal failure increases irreversible alteration of the glomerular filtration system, of the tubular and endocrine function of the kidney since an increase of the creatinine rate, urea, Na++ and K+ is observed; as well as a decrease in the uric acid rate and Ca++. To conclude, pregnancy during renal failure may not be advisable since it represents a high risk for the mother as well as for the baby and it needs medical supervision of the biochemical parameters for the follow-up care of the renal function (the extent to which the kidney is affected) and to avoid any complications.
