Summary

A 33-year-old primigravida on thrice weekly hemodialysis while awaiting renal transplantation is referred by her nephrologist to your high-risk obstetric unit. Given irregular menstrual cycles, she did a home urine pregnancy test after three months of amenorrhea. Yesterday, she was pleasantly surprised with dating sonography confirming a single viable intrauterine fetus at 11+1 weeks’ gestation. The request for consultation ensures that her nephrologist, nutritionist, and other allied members in dialysis care will follow her pregnancy with you.
