Abstract:
A 24 years female of advanced chronic renal failure due to lupus nephritis presented with pregnancy of eight weeks duration she continued the pregnancy against medical advice. At 29 weeks gestation further deterioration of renal function prompted weekly dialysis and hospitalisation for intensive maternal and fetal monitoring. At 35 weeks she was safely delivered by elective caesarian section. This is the first case of dialysis during pregnancy to be reported from India.
