Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar las principales complicaciones relacionadas con la infección del tracto urinario durante el período gestacional. Métodos: Se trata de una revisión integrativa de la literatura, de carácter cualitativo y nivel exploratorio. Se utilizaron los siguientes descriptores y operadores booleanos: Infecciones del tracto urinario Y Embarazo, en las bases de datos electrónicas PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde y Scielo. Resultados: Se ha demostrado que la Infección del Tracto Urinario (ITU), especialmente en pacientes de difícil instalación terapéutica debido a la resistencia a los antibióticos, pueden predisponer a diversas complicaciones materno-fetales, como parto prematuro, bajo peso al nacer, alteración del desarrollo motor y microcefalia. Consideraciones finales: El período gestacional es una época de muchos cambios fisiológicos y anatómicos en el organismo femenino, con cambios especialmente en el tracto urogenital, que pueden predisponer a todo el tracto urinario a procesos de infección, especialmente por Escherichia coli uropatógena, debido al proceso de dilatación. La acción del uréter y la progesterona sobre el músculo liso, y su precaución e intervención inmediata con un tratamiento eficaz, pueden ayudar a mitigar las posibles complicaciones derivadas de una ITU prolongada y no tratada.
