The study involved over 4,000 patients with CKD child, diagnosed at age 21 or earlier, in the state of Washington. These patients were compared with more than 20,000 healthy children to evaluate the possible relationship between a pregnant woman with diabetes, obesity or overweight, and the risk of your baby develop CKD at some point in their childhood, childhood or adolescence.

The overall rate of CKD in the younger ages was approximately 0.26%, about one case per 400 births. When the researchers adjusted the length of gestation, the risk of CKD was 69% higher in children whose mothers had diabetes before pregnancy. In the case of children whose mothers developed diabetes during the gestation period was 28% higher risk of CKD. Children of obese mothers showed a 22% increase in the risk of CKD.

The risk of urinary blockage, which can lead to CKD was 34% higher in children of mothers who had gestational diabetes, 23% in children of obese mothers and 21% in those with overweight. In adults, CKD is often associated with medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Researchers say previous studies have shown that maternal diabetes is associated with an increased risk of congenital anomalies, although a strict control of the disorder leads to the development rate of these anomalies is equal to that of mothers without diabetes.

Gestational diabetes is one that affects pregnant women who have never had diabetes but who have high glucose levels during pregnancy. Of 100 women, five are at risk of developing such disease. Usually detected between weeks 24 to 28 of pregnancy and the absolute majority of cases, disappears as soon as delivery occurs. However, it is recommended to continue with regular checkups, because that has been seen has a greater presence of type 2 diabetes over time in these women.

It is unclear why there was to be the presence of diabetes in these women. It is thought that increased production of hormones from the placenta during fetal development could generate the problem. These hormones will probably block the production of insulin in the mother’s body, producing a resistance to it, making it difficult for the mother’s body use insulin to process glucose necessary. This causes an increase in levels of blood sugar.

That women should take special care:
* Pregnant women over 30 years or under this age with obesity (weighing more than 120% of recommended weight)
* Family member in the first degree of consanguinity (father, mother, siblings) with diabetes mellitus
* Personal history of intolerance to carbohydrates (flour, sugar, fruit juice, etc.)
* Excessive weight of the mother at birth
* Hypertension (high blood pressure) associated with pregnancy

Symptoms to suspect the disease:
It usually causes no symptoms or discomfort, but some warning signs, such as increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss despite increased appetite, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and blurred vision.

How can prevent it:
If you experience some of the records indicated or suspect you may develop the disease, see your doctor and have your proof of blood sugar, and if necessary, tells a diet and exercise routines.

Complications:
If not properly treated is likely to occur abortion or premature labor, or the baby may be born with their blood sugar levels low. It is also possible that the newborn this hypocalcemia (low calcium levels), polycythemia (increased red blood cells), or respiratory failure that can lead to death.

Treatment:
The doctor must determine its
* This is by low-carb diet
* Exercise regularly: at least walk for 30 minutes a day
* Monitoring of blood glucose
* In some cases, administer insulin if needed
