Likewise, the progress of pregnancy in the pregnant woman with nephropathy, the closed correlation of kidney with preeclampsia and eclampsia, and chronic non-communicable diseases of considerable repercussion on the pregnant woman (diabetes mellitus, chronic hypertension, S trait-S hemoglobinopathies and diseases of the collagen) were considered. Finally, some elements on the renal tumors in the pregnant women and the fundamental therapeutic means as hemodyalisis, kidney and pancreas transplant, and kidney transplant were briefly pointed out.
