The predictive value of sonographic placental markers for adverse pregnancy outcome in women with chronic kidney disease.

•Women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) represent one of the most challenging groups of pregnant patients who are at a very high risk of placental complications.•Data on the prediction of placental complications in this population remain limited.•Our objective was to determine the predictive value of sonographic placental markers for preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction in women with CKD.•Placental volume and uterine artery Doppler were the most important predictors of preeclampsia.•The combination of both markers had the strongest predictive value for preeclampsia.•Our findings suggest that a 2nd-trimester sonographic placental study can identify a subgroup of women with CKD who are at most risk of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
