title: The outcome of pregnancy among patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.
abstract: Pregnancy among women receiving hemodialysis as a renal replacement therapy is rare and the chance of a successful delivery is relatively low. In this article, we present 3 cases of women conceiving either before or after the initiation of hemodialysis. The various risks of each pregnancy and the outcome are discussed as well as the latest management guidelines for pregnant dialysis patients.
