The objective: to determine the risk factors for the development of ESRD in pregnant women with preeclampsia and anemia. Materials and methods. 97 pregnant women with preeclampsia with iron-deficiency anemia were monitored. The first group included 46 pregnant women with diagnosed ZRD, the second group-51 pregnant women who gave birth to children with normal body weight. Criteria of FGR is to reduce body weight and length of newborn at birth (less than 10 percentile of assessment tables in comparison with due to gestational age), morphological maturity index (a lag of 2 weeks or more from the true gestational age), disproportionate body, the signs of malnutrition and trophic disorders of the skin and mucous membranes. Results. A step-by-step elimination of the factors that contributed the least to the development of ARI in a combination of preeclampsia and anemia was performed. The results of multivariate analysis showed that in General, the following factors had the strongest influence on the development of RR in preeclampsia and anemia: arterial hypertension (RR= 2.055 [95% CI 1.31-3.20]), overweight/obesity (RR=1.646 [95% CI 1.03-2.62]), anemia in the anamnesis (RR=2.591[95% CI 1.56-4.28]),complicated labor in the anamnesis (RR=1.886 [95% CI 1.29-2.74]), habitual miscarriage (RR=1.850 [95% CI 1.21-2.82]), a history of preeclampsia (RR= 1.922 [95% CI 1.31-2.80]), a history of RR (RR=3.502 [CI 2.37-5.16]). Conclusions. The most significant clinical and anamnestic risk factors for the development of RRT are: arterial hypertension, overweight/obesity, anemia in the anamnesis, pre-eclampsia in the anamnesis, complicated labor in the anamnesis, habitual miscarriage, RRT in the anamnesis. Keywords: pregnancy, preeclampsia, anemia, fetal growth retardation, risk factors.

The aim of the study was to assess the course of pregnancy and childbirth in patients with varying degrees of obesity.Material and methods of research. A retrospective study of pregnant women with different body mass index (BMI), the delivery of which occurred in the period 01.01.2018-06.30.2018, was conducted. The results of the study. In the study, the largest proportion - 53% were pregnant women with a BMI above 30 kg/m2, the proportion of women with premorbid obesity - 47%. The incidence of diseases that complicate the course of pregnancy (chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia) was highest in women with a BMI higher than 30 kg/m2. In the study groups, gestational arterial hypertension was the most common - 14%. Pregnancy complications, namely, fetal growth retardation/placental insufficiency, occurred with a frequency of 8% in the group with premorbid obesity. In pregnant women with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2, acute/chronic fetal hypoxia was observed, the frequency of which in total was 10%. Complications of the fetus in the studied women showed that the risk of fetal hypoxia in pregnant women with a BMI above 30 kg/m2 is very high. Large fruit was found in 15% of cases of the total number of women studied, in groups with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2, with a frequency equal to 10% of the total number. The number of births through the birth canal in women with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2 was 28%, and the frequency of cesarean section operations was 24%. Conclusion. Women with a BMI above 30 kg/m2 have a high frequency of pregnancy complications (gestational arterial hypertension, preeclampsia, chronic arterial hypertension). A high frequency of perinatal pathology was revealed - acute/chronic fetal hypoxia, placental insufficiency, fetal growth retardation, macrosomia. Pregnant women with a high BMI should be closely monitored by an obstetrician-gynecologist, observe proper nutrition, monitor weight gain, and timely treat chronic diseases, in particular hypertension.

An analysis of birthweights of 337 neonates in relation to history of maternal narcotic usage was undertaken Mean birthweight of infants born to mothers abusing heroin during the pregnancy was 2,490 gm, an effect primarily of intrauterine growth retardation. Low mean birthweight (2,615 gm) was also seen in infants born to mothers who had abused heroin only prior to this pregnancy, and mothers who had used both heroin and methadone during the pregnancy (2,535 gm). Infants born to mothers on methadone maintenance during the pregnancy had significantly higher mean birthweights (2,961 gm), but lower than the control group (3,176 gm). A highly significant relationship was observed between maternal methadone dosage in the first trimester and birthweight, i.e., the higher the dosage, the larger the infant. Heroin causes fetal growth retardation, an effect which may persist beyond the period of addiction. Methadone may promote fetal growth in a dose-related fashion after maternal use of heroin.

Aim: to study the role of antiphospholipid antibodies (AРA) and genetic thrombophilia as a potential cause of the development or a component in the pathogenesis of early and late fetal growth retardation (FGR).Materials and Methods. There was conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial with 118 women enrolled. The main group consisted of 83 patients, whose pregnancy was complicated by FGR degrees II and III, stratified into two groups: group 1 – 36 pregnant women with early FGR, group 2 – 47 pregnant women with late FGR. Women were subdivided into subgroups according to the FGR severity. The control group consisted of 35 pregnant women with a physiological course of pregnancy. АРА were determined according to the Sydney antiphospholipid syndrome criteria by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA): against cardiolipin, β2 -glycoprotein 1, annexin V, prothrombin, etc. (IgG/IgM isotypes); lupus anticoagulant – by the three-stage method with Russell's viper venom; antithrombin III and protein C levels – by chromogenic method; prothrombin gene polymorphisms G20210A and factor V Leiden – by polymerase chain reaction; homocysteine level – by ELISA.Results. AРA circulation (medium and high titers), genetic thrombophilic defects and/or hyperhomocysteinemia were detected in 40 (48.2 %) patients with FGR, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05): in group 1 (41.7 % of women) AРA (30.6 %) and AРA with genetic thrombophilia or hyperhomocysteinemia (11.1 %) were revealed; in group 2 (51.1 % of women) AРA (21.3 %), AРA with hyperhomocysteinemia (4.3 %), genetic thrombophilia (25.5 %), and due to hyperhomocysteinemia (2.1 %) were found. No differences in prevalence of thrombophilia rate in patients were observed related to FGR severity, but a correlation between the FGR severity and AРA titers was found.Conclusion. Testing for the presence of AРA, genetic thrombophilia and hyperhomocysteinemia should be recommended for patients with FGR (including those with FGR in medical history), especially in the case of its early onset. It is recommended to determine the full AРA spectrum.

Intrauterine growth was assessed in a series of 128 cases. Thirty-six infants were small for gestational age, and showed the usual signs of intrauterine growth retardation (IUM). The head circumference of these infants was small, with reference to normal term babies (FT) and comparable to premature infants, appropriately sized for a gestational age (ACA) five weeks less than that of the IUM's. There were 12 neonatal deaths, three among IUM infants within 24 hours and nine in the low birth weight AGA group within 72 hours. The mothers of these three groups of infants were similar with respect to age, weight, height, nutritional patterns, and prior pregnancy histories.
