Successful Pregnancy in a Patient on Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis

A 28-year-old female patient, who had been undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) because of end-stage renal disease of unknown origin, presented with secondary amenorrhea, nausea, vomiting, and anorexia and was suspected to be pregnant. The diagnosis of pregnancy was confirmed by ultrasonography (USG), which revealed that she was 11 weeks pregnant. Her physical examination was normal. Her residual Kt/Vurea was 4.38 and weekly residual creatinine clearance was 161.97 mL/min. She came to her routine follow-ups every month until intrauterine growth retardation was detected by USG and her blood pressure was found to be 170/110 mmHg while she was 35 weeks pregnant. A Caesarean section was performed and a 1900 g healthy baby was born. She continued CAPD after termination of pregnancy.
