    Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between foetal growth and different maternal metabolic characteristics in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: The study group included 200 consecutive pregnant women who attended the Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders Outpatient Department in the period from 02.2006 to 02.2009 with singleton pregnancy and GDM diagnosed following ADA criteria. The following parameters were studied: pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index (BMI), 3-hours 100g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total lipids (TL), total cholesterol (TH), triglycerides (TG), HDL- and LDL-cholesterol levels at admission. Neonatal birth weight and the prevalence of being large for gestational age (LGA) was an end-point. Results: We found a significant association between birth weight and pre-pregnancy BMI, HDL-C and birth weight of a large child born previously. Birth weight of a large child born previously was the strongest independent predictor for LGA. The prevalence of LGA (from 27% to 80%) was related to a number of altered maternal characteristics. Conclusion: Pre-pregnancy BMI, HDL-C and birth weight of a large child born previously are the independent predictors for LGA, but results of glucose levels during OGTT are not useful in the prediction of LGA in GDM pregnancies. Probably more factors and other maternal metabolic parameters than glucose levels during OGTT are responsible for the risk of LGA.

    Although still uncommon, pregnancy in haemodialysis (HD) patients does occur and frequency has been increased in the past 20 years. But unfortunately, the rates for premature delivery, neonatal death, maternal hypertension, and preeclampsia in the pregnant HD patient are much higher than in the general population. Infants are often born both prematurely and small for gestational age. We report here two cases of pregnancy in women on long-term HD, one successfully and the other unsuccessfully managed, despite the same treatment strategy. Case 1 was a 43-year-old female patient, 10th gravida, after six years of maintenance HD whose pregnancy was successfully managed up to the 33rd week of gestation with a delivery of a healthy boy weighing 2,100 g. Case 2 was a 32-year-old female patient, 2nd gravida, after five years of maintenance HD, whose pregnancy ended in spontaneous abortion with intrauterine death at week 19 of gestation. Maternal hypertension and anemia contributed partly to the unsuccessful outcome. A successful pregnancy in HD patients requires multidisciplinary management, but considering the previous nephrological/ prenatal/gynaecological/obstetric recommendations, many open questions remain when it comes to the best treatment and management of pregnancy in these women.
