[Pregnancy with delivery at term in hemodialyzed women].

Genital disturbances are frequent in chronic renal failure with amenorrhea anovulatory cycles, elsewhere a good hemodialysis improve these disturbances pathogenesis of there; derived from central gonado stimuline dysfunction. We stated 13 pregnancies in our hemodialysed population. Only one successful delivery of a (baby alive and in due time) is registered. Residual diuresis and blood pressure are the most important predictor pregnancy factors in spite of a good dialysance the fetal prognosis in still unclear. Complications were observed in the mother as well as new babies.

[Primary hypothyroidism and glomerular involvement].

Association between auto-immune dysthyroidism and glomerulonephritis is quite rare. The authors report 3 cases with proteinuria varying from 2.72 to 6.06 g/day and hypothyroidism. Nephrotic syndrome was found in 2 cases and thyroid auto-antibodies (microsomal and thyroglobulin) and circulating immun complexes (C.I.C.) in 1 case, complement fractions C3 and C4 were normal in all cases. Renal biopsy showed membranous glomerulonephritis in 2 cases and minimal lesions in the third case. Proteinuria disappeared with glucocorticoids and thyroxine in 1 case, with thyroxine alone in an other case and persisted in the third case with normal thyroid function.

[Familial distal tubular acidosis].

This study concerned a Tunisian family of 52 members. We have looked for distal tubular acidosis (D.T.A.) after we had discovered that 2 members of this family suffered from nephrocalcinosis with D.T.A. Twenty six of our patients (group I) suffered from D.T.A., 17 from confirmed metabolic acidosis with low urinary pH (5.22 +/- 0.25). Patients of latest groups may present a D.T.A. with intact capacity to lower urinary pH. Our literature review revealed 27 families composed of 228 patients.
