Abstract:
Pregnancy in women having chronic renal insufficiency and undergoing hemodialysis is a rare event with a poor outcome. This is the 1st case in whom pre- and posthemodialysis fetal renal artery Doppler flow velocimetry was used in conjunction with fetal blood sampling which was performed to assess fetal karyotype and blood chemistry. Uteroplacental Doppler measurements were also performed, and a close correlation between maternal-fetal blood creatinine and urea nitrogen levels and fetal renal, umbilical, and uterine artery resistance indexes was observed.

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
