El embarazo en una paciente con enfermedad renal crónica en hemodiálisis: a propósito de un caso y revisión de la literatura

Abstract

The case is presented of a pregnant patient at 20 weeks gestation with chronic renal disease in advanced stage and in poor general condition, which required initiation of renal replacement therapy due to uremia and fluid retention. Although her referral was delayed, it was possible to improve her general condition in all aspects, allowing her to have an electively scheduled abdominal birth at 38 weeks, with favorable results for the newborn that exceeded the statistics described in these patients. This case is presented along with a review of the literature and a critical analysis of the management of these patients.
