Food for Thought
› There is a lack of consensus regarding whether or not pregnancy should be contraindicated in women with severe, poorly
controlled HTN
› Mounting evidence suggests that women who develop preeclampsia or GHTN are at increased risk for developing HTN
and DM later in life. Researchers who studied 10,456 women in the Japan Nurses’ Health Study found that HTN in
pregnancy was associated with a 2.9-fold increased risk of developing subsequent chronic HTN, a 1.5-fold increased risk of
hypercholesterolemia, and a 1.5-fold increased risk of DM (Kurabayashi et al., 2013)
› Investigators in a study of 85 women who previously donated a kidney and 510 healthy nondonor women found that risk of
GHTN and preeclampsia was increased 2.4-fold in kidney donors (Garg et al., 2015)
