[Pregnancy course, labor and puerperium in nephrectomized pregnant patients]

The coincidence of pregnancy and situation after nephrectomy is rare. Pregnancy, delivery and puerperium of 28 patients with nephrectomy were analysed and compared statistically with a control group from 200 healthy pregnant women. Abortion rate, incidence of gestosis, perinatal mortality and frequency of premature deliveries are not increased. The pregnancy of women after nephrectomy should be controlled in a special prenatal care service. Delivery and puerperium do not need any increased medical expense.
