The authors analyze the course and outcomes of 33 pregnancies in 26 women suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In patients with active SLE the incidence of gestoses and abnormalities of the newborns is significantly higher than in those with inactive SLE, whose gestational and neonatal complication rate is almost the same as in healthy women. Pregnancy course and outcomes are particularly unfavorable in cases with lupus glomerulonephritis.

Rheography revealed abnormalities of uterine hemodynamics in 71 women with toxemia of pregnancy. Three-five hyperbaric oxygenation treatments as part of the management were found to be associated with a significant improvement of its efficacy and normalization of hemodynamic status. Longer regimens of hyperbaric oxygenation resulted in a persistent increase in peripheral vascular resistance.

Clinical progress and outcomes of 151 pregnancies have been evaluated in 123 patients with chronic primary glomerulonephritis (GN). The incidence of gestational and neonatal complications was evaluated for a relationship with preconception findings of proteinuria, hematuria, arterial pressure, blood creatinine and, in 45 women, histological patterns of disease. Major preconception proteinuria (over 3 g/day), hypertension, decreased renal function and especially clustering of these findings were prognostically poor. Gestational progress and outcomes in mesangiocapillary GN were worse as compared with mesangial proliferative GN.
