Pre-eclampsia is a valuable opportunity to diagnose chronic kidney disease: a multicentre study.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are known to be associated. Our objective was to assess the prevalence of CKD in a large multicentre cohort of women without acknowledged CKD who experienced a PE episode.

Methods: The setting for the study was France (Le Mans, Central France) and Italy (Cagliari, Sardinia).
