title: Renal failure in pregnancy.

The kidney plays a critical role in both normal and complicated pregnancy. Only by understanding these various adaptations can one correctly manage patients whose pregnancies are complicated by some degree of renal impairment and achieve a safe and successful outcome for both mother and baby.
