Successful pregnancy following haemodialysis and pyeloplasty. 1983

A S David, and D W Newling, and M J Farr

A successful pregnancy in a patient who presented with renal failure secondary to pelvi-ureteric obstruction is described. Haemodialysis was instituted during the pregnancy. An Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty was performed, probably preventing deterioration of remaining renal function. Metabolic acidosis was managed using additional bicarbonate in the dialysate. An active, multidisciplinary approach is recommended in the management of such patients.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
