the renin angiotensin system during organogenesis). One infant with severe intrauterine growth restriction (z score
25.25) and abnormal umbilical ow was
delivered at 30 weeks and died 3 days
postpartum. The mother had type 1 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy and was
treated with three antihypertensive agents
during pregnancy. One year later, this
woman completed an uneventful pregnancy while receiving four types of antihypertensive agents.
CONCLUSIONSdThis study demonstrates that the prevalence of diabetic
nephropathy and microalbuminuria in
pregnant women with type 2 diabetes
was comparable to the prevalence in
pregnant women with type 1 diabetes.
Using the same antihypertensive strategy, pregnancy outcome was comparable regardless type of diabetes in women
with kidney involvement. Antihypertensive therapy was used more frequently in women with type 1 diabetes
and did not seem to affect pregnancy
outcome negatively.
The women with type 2 diabetes and
kidney involvement had a relatively
shorter diabetes duration compared with
the women with type 1 diabetes. This is
in accordance with the ndings in the
nonpregnant population of children and
young adults with type 2 diabetes in
whom microalbuminuria and diabetic
nephropathy are also present in subjects
with a relatively shorter duration of diabetes (35).
In Danish pregnant women with type
1 diabetes, the prevalence of diabetic
nephropathy has declined from 5% in
