Abstract

A REVIEW ARTICLE ON STUDY OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION IN PREGNANCY AND ITS EFFECT ON MATERNAL AND PERINATAL OUTCOME

Diksha Sharma*, Akhil Thakur and Kapil Kumar Verma

ABSTRACT

During pregnancy, a common issue is urinary tract infections (UTIs), which have substantial impact on maternal and perinatal outcomes. In this review, we discuss the consequences of UTIs during pregnancy both on maternal and fetal state underlining importance necessity for early diagnosis and treatment. Untreated UTIs during pregnancy, which are frequently asymptomatic, carry potential complications including preterm birth and low-birth weight infants as well as increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Researchers combined data for a review that investigates the epidemiology, pathophysiology and treatment strategies of UTIs during pregnancy. The study noted that pregnant women are especially prone to UTIs due to hormonal changes altering the urinary tract and immune defense. The effects of these infections can be mild to severe complications, such as pyelonephritis with its adverse maternal outcomes including hypertension and sepsis. Untreated UTIs are also associated with increased risk of preterm delivery and low birth weight. Routine monitoring for asymptomatic bacteriuria is part of an effective management plan and this should be done to reduce the risk that these infections will evolve into symptomatic presentations. The review also highlights the necessity for antibiotic stewardship to prevent resistance and promote effective therapy. The authors of the review, recommend complete prenatal care such as regular UTI screenings with prompt treatment to lower risks and improve maternal-perinatal ne prognosis.

Keywords: UTIs, Pregnancy, Maternal, Perinatal, Symptomatic, Asymptomatic.
