Pregnancy in a hemodialysis patient with no residual renal function.
Pregnancies have occurred in a few patients with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis. The presence of significant residual renal function has normally been required for successful outcome. We report a pregnancy in a patient with complete anuria. Although birth occurred prematurely, fetal growth remained normal throughout gestation.
