Abstract
Pregnancy is a challenge for women with kidney
disease, and this is especially true for dialysis
patient. Pregnancy in women with ESRD undergoing dialysis treatment is uncommon but increasingly observed over the last few years.
Pregnancy in dialysis patients remains a high-risk
undertaking for both the patient and the fetus. There are large gaps in our knowledge base regarding the effect of the abnormalities associated with renal failure on pregnancy.
The aim of this essay is to throw lights on the
recommendations regarding dialysis modalities,
prescription and adequacy for the pregnant woman, to have a successful outcome for the pregnant dialysis patients.
The kidney is among the organs in the body most
significantly affected by pregnancy. The kidneys undergo pronounced haemodynamic, renal tubular and endocrine changes during pregnancy. During healthy pregnancy the kidney increases production of erythropoietin, active vitamin D, and rennin.
