The aim of the work is to study the content of 11-deoxycorticosterone in the placenta during pregnancy complicated by exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection. Histochemical method was used to determine the content of 11-deoxycorticosterone in 72 placentas, including 37 cases from women with acute cytomegalovirus infection and simultaneously diagnosed moderate preeclampsia, and 35 placentas from women with exacerbation of chronic cytomegalovirus infection without concomitant diseases. The control group consisted of 30 placentas from mothers with chronic cytomegalovirus infection in the latent stage. It was found out that an increase in the content of 11-deoxycorticosterone in placenta by 25% in comparison with the control group occurred during gestation with an exacerbation of cytomegalovirus infection. A significant increase (by 40%) in the content of this hormone in the placenta was noted during the reactivation of the viral process accompanied by preeclampsia. We believe that an increase in the production of 11-deoxycorticosterone with mineralocorticotropic effect in the placenta could contribute to the development of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy complicated by cytomegalovirus infection.

Abstract Background Worldwide, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDPs) complicate between 5 and 10% of pregnancies. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is disproportionately affected by a high burden of HDPs and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite mounting evidence associating HDPs with the development of CKD, data from SSA are scarce. Methods Women with HDPs (n = 410) and normotensive women (n = 78) were recruited at delivery and prospectively followed-up at 9 weeks, 6 months and 1 year postpartum. Serum creatinine was measured at all time points and the estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) using CKD-Epidemiology equation determined. CKD was defined as decreased eGFR< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 lasting for ≥ 3 months. Prevalence of CKD at 6 months and 1 year after delivery was estimated. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate risk factors for CKD at 6 months and 1 year postpartum. Results Within 24 h of delivery, 9 weeks, and 6 months postpartum, women with HDPs were more likely to have a decreased eGFR compared to normotensive women (12, 5.7, 4.3% versus 0, 2 and 2.4%, respectively). The prevalence of CKD in HDPs at 6 months and 1 year postpartum was 6.1 and 7.6%, respectively, as opposed to zero prevalence in the normotensive women for the corresponding periods. Proportions of decreased eGFR varied with HDP sub-types and intervening postpartum time since delivery, with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia showing higher prevalence than chronic and gestational hypertension. Only maternal age was independently shown to be a risk factor for decreased eGFR at 6 months postpartum (aOR = 1.18/year; 95%CI 1.04–1.34). Conclusion Prior HDP was associated with risk of future CKD, with prior HDPs being more likely to experience evidence of CKD over periods of postpartum follow-up. Routine screening of women following HDP-complicated pregnancies should be part of a postpartum monitoring program to identify women at higher risk. Future research should report on both the eGFR and total urinary albumin excretion to enable detection of women at risk of future deterioration of renal function.
