[Pregnancy during nephropathy].
We illustrate two cases of pregnancy complicated by previously onset chronic nephropathy. In spite of two completely different pathogenetic mechanisms for chronic renal insufficiency (IgA nephropathy in one case and vescico-ureteral reflux in the other), renal function at the beginning of the pregnancy was similar and only partially impaired. In either case the pregnancy lowered by 50% the residual glomerular filtration rate. Only minimum recovery was observed during several months of follow-up.
