Renal failure in pregnancy, treated by hemodialysis. 1987

P Van Dam, and K De Cleyn, and M Couttenye, and J Vervliet, and P Buytaert

A patient with renal failure in pregnancy is presented. Prior to pregnancy she was known to have impaired renal function due to chronic pyelonephritis. Renal insufficiency was successfully treated by hemodialysis. The literature concerning etiology and proper management of renal failure in pregnancy and the results and complications of its treatment with hemodialysis are reviewed. A multidisciplinary approach is important for the successful outcome of these pregnancies.
