Risk Factors for Adverse Fetal Outcome in Hemodialysis Pregnant Women.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Pregnancy in women on dialysis is associated with a higher risk of adverse events, and the best care for this population remains to be established.

Methods

In this series, we aimed to identify factors associated with the risk of adverse fetal outcomes among 93 pregnancies in women on hemodialysis. Dialysis dose was initially assigned according to the presence of residual diuresis, body weight, and years on dialysis. Subsequent adjustments on dialysis dose were performed according to several parameters.

Results

The overall successful delivery rate was 89.2%, with a dialysis regimen of 2.6 ± 0.7 h/d, 15.4 ± 4.0 h/wk, and mean weekly standard urea Kt/V of 3.3 ± 0.6. In the logistic models, preeclampsia, lupus, primigravida, and average midweek blood urea nit
