A multidisciplinary approach to the management of pregnant patients with end-stage renal disease.
End-stage renal disease (ESRD) in pregnancy is a complex perinatal condition requiring a multidisciplinary approach to care. This article will summarize the literature, provide a brief overview of dialysis therapy, describe the inherent maternal and fetal complications, and present a case history of a pregnant patient with ESRD. The clinical management, using a multidisciplinary approach, is discussed in detail, with a major focus on the obstetric nursing plan of care.
