Pregnancy & Kidney Disease
Pregnancy & Kidney Disease (Obstetric Nephrology) Specialists in Arizona
What Is Pregnancy-Related Kidney Disease?
The intersection of pregnancy and kidney disease requires specialized, compassionate care. Expectant mothers with pre-existing kidney conditions—or those who develop kidney problems during pregnancy—face unique challenges. At Southwest Kidney Institute in Arizona, our obstetric nephrology team provides expert support to protect both mother and baby. We streamline diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment to promote the best outcomes for your pregnancy.
Symptoms of Preeclampsia and Proteinuria
Monitoring for preeclampsia and proteinuria is a central part of obstetric nephrology care. Preeclampsia is a severe blood pressure condition, while proteinuria occurs when excess protein is found in the urine. Both can indicate kidney stress during pregnancy. Our specialists focus on early detection of these complications to ensure timely treatment and safeguard the health of mother and child.

We follow a collaborative model of care, bringing together nephrologists, obstetricians, and other specialists. Treatment plans may involve managing blood pressure, making dietary adjustments, and closely monitoring kidney function. By working in partnership, we provide advanced, personalized care tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel supported and informed throughout your pregnancy.
