title: Successful pregnancy in a patient receiving hemodialysis.
abstract: Pregnancy is an unusual occurrence in women with ESRD. We report a successful pregnancy in a patient with ESRD who was receiving hemodialysis; she gave birth to a healthy female infant at 34 weeks' gestational age. We discuss possible physiologic causes of gonadal dysfunction in patients with ESRD.
