[Pregnancy and labor in advanced renal failure due to chronic pyelonephritis].
The rare completion of a pregnancy in the presence of severe chronic renal failure is discussed in 6 cases. In all those cases the renal failure became worse, even though the pregnancy and delivery were satisfactory. Shortly after delivery, the 6 women underwent hemodialysis or peritoneal-dialysis. One patient died several weeks after delivery because of uremia. Our results suggest that for their own safety, women with severe renal failure should not become pregnant.
