Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Obstetrics
  • Reproductive Medicine

Background:

  • Advanced chronic renal failure (CRF) impacts fertility, though patients are not sterile.
  • Hemodialysis has improved fertility in women with CRF.
  • This study reviews pregnancies in uremic patients (dialyzed and non-dialyzed) from 1990-1996.

Observation:

  • Pregnancies in dialysis patients are infrequent and precarious.
  • Increased rates of miscarriage and pregnancy interruption were observed.
  • Complications are common for both mother and fetus.

Findings:

  • Maternal risks include hemorrhagic accidents, anemia, vascular access thrombosis, and liver anomalies (gravidic cholestasis).
  • Fetal risks include anemia, chronic hypoxia, hydramnios, intrauterine growth restriction, and prematurity.

  • Favorable prognostic factors include absence of hypertension and residual renal function.

    • Implications:

    • Intensified therapeutic management is necessary for viable pregnancy outcomes.
    • Multidisciplinary care involving nephrology, obstetrics, and neonatology is essential.
    • Informed patient decision-making regarding pregnancy continuation or interruption is paramount, with contraception post-renal transplantation being a consideration.
