It has long been recognized that pregnancy in women with chronic kidney disease presents unique challenges for both the mother and the developing child. The prognosis of pregnant chronic renal patients has improved over time, with an increase in the number of successful deliveries.
According to available data, the primary predictor of worsening residual kidney function and complications in pregnant women appears to be the stage of renal failure. Furthermore, in patients with end-stage renal disease, the likelihood of a successful pregnancy depends on appropriate depurative and pharmacological strategies.
Due to substantial improvements in antenatal and neonatal care, fetal outcome has improved considerably in the last four decades.
In this article we report a case of successful pregnancy managed at Myungsung Medical College/MCM comprehensive specialized hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
