The effect of pregnancy on renal function in amyloidosis of familial Mediterranean fever.

The effect of pregnancy on kidney function was studied in 29 pregnancies of 17 patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and amyloidosis. Pregnancy associated deterioration of renal function occurred in seven patients who had advanced renal disease at conception, marked by serum creatinine > or = 1.5 mg/dl or urine protein > or = 2 g/24 h. This finding suggests that the severity of renal disease at conception may predict the fate of kidney function during pregnancy and puerperium.

Colchicine treatment in conception and pregnancy: two hundred thirty-one pregnancies in patients with familial Mediterranean fever.

The effect of maternal use of colchicine on fetuses is unknown. The children of 116 women with Familial Mediterranean Fever (225 completed pregnancies) were studied. There was no unusual frequency of fetal abnormality among women taking colchicine before or during pregnancy. Colchicine treatment does not apparently harm mother or child.
