Abstract

Background:: Pregnancy is rare in women with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, this scenario has changed in recent years with considerable improvement and successful outcomes in pregnant women with end-stage renal disease on dialysis. The understanding of the principles related to pregnant dialysis patients, combined with a multidisciplinary approach to case management, has resulted in many success stories, and today, pregnancy for young women with ESRD is more plausible and far safer than ever before. Case Presentation:: We present a series of three women who conceived while on dialysis and delivered successfully. These women were managed with increasing dialysis frequency and developing a clinical protocol early on, with a multidisciplinary approach and close collaboration with obstetricians. Our case series is unique as one of the women had three successful deliveries while on dialysis, and one of them had a positive outcome with twin pregnancies while on dialysis. Conclusion:: Successful outcomes in these high-risk pregnancies while on dialysis suggest that with meticulous care and a multidisciplinary approach, conception and successful deliveries are plausible in women who receive dialysis.
