[Management of pregnancy in a patient on chronic hemodialysis].

Abstract

Conception and fetal survival are possible in patients undergoing long term hemodialysis. We report a case of successfully managed pregnancy complicated by maternal chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis, severe intrauterine growth retardation and polyhydramnios. Pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section at 30 weeks' gestation due to premature labor. A normal-appearing female weighting only 1000 gr was delivered. The infant is now more than a year old and is developing normally.
