In the present study, we investigated the pregnancy course of 60 pregnant @entity1 with @entity8 according to the grade of @entity8 . All the @entity1 had undergone open renal biopsy at the Renal Metabolism Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Tokai University Hospital, before pregnancy. The items analyzed were the serum biochemical data, the occurrence and severity of @entity1468 , the frequency of low birth weight @entity1 , and the incidence of @entity1592 ( @entity1592 ). Analysis of the serum biochemical data revealed no statistically significant differences among the various grades. Investigating the occurrence and severity of @entity1468 revealed that the incidence was 0.0% in @entity1 of grade I (n = 7), 56.1% for mild @entity1468 and 22.0% for severe @entity1468 in those of grade II (n = 41), 45.5% for mild @entity1468 and 18.2% for severe @entity1468 in those of grade III (n = 11), and 0.0% in those of grade IV (n = 1). These results showed statistically significant differences in the incidence of @entity1468 according to the grade. Analyzing the frequency of low birth weight @entity1 (less than 2,500 g at birth) showed rates of 28.6% for grade I, 17.1% for grade II, 36.4% for grade III, and 100.0% for grade IV. No statistically significant differences were observed. The incidence of @entity1592 was 0.0% for grade I, 9.8% for grade II, 18.2% for grade III, and 0.0% for grade IV, indicating no statistically significant differences. Therefore, we concluded that in pregnancy complicated with @entity8 , if the renal function before pregnancy was satisfactory, an uneventful course of pregnancy could be expected by careful control of the @entity1 , although the incidence of @entity1468 was high.

XXXX and pregnancy.
