Hemodialysis and pregnancy.

W M Trebbin

    JAMA
    |April 27, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pregnancy complicated by severe renal failure requiring hemodialysis can be successfully managed. Advances in dialysis allow for fetal survival and even conception in pregnant patients undergoing treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Obstetrics
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Severe renal failure complicates pregnancy, often leading to decisions about pregnancy continuation.
    • Hemodialysis is a critical treatment for end-stage renal disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the current status of hemodialysis in pregnancy.
    • To highlight successful outcomes and possibilities for fetal survival and conception.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature and case reports on hemodialysis during pregnancy.
    • Analysis of outcomes for both mother and fetus.

    Main Results:

    • Successful hemodialysis in pregnancy is increasingly reported.
    • Fetal survival is achievable in pregnant patients undergoing dialysis.
    • Conception is possible for women on dialysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Pregnancy with severe renal failure requiring hemodialysis is manageable.
    • Modern dialysis techniques support positive maternal and fetal outcomes.
    • Hesitation to continue pregnancy in such cases may be overcome with current medical capabilities.
