Abstract

A 19-year-old nullipara developed uremia due to acute pyelonephritis in the 30th week of pregnancy, necessitating hemodialysis within one week of onset of clinical infective symptoms. Almost daily prophylactic hemodialyses (7 in all) were performed. BUN and serum creatinine levels were maintained below 75 mg/100 ml and 12 ml/100 ml respectively, and the patient's weight was kept constant until delivery in the 32nd week of pregnancy. A live healthy child of 1.7 kg was born with a length of 39 cm and a normal neurologic examination. After 10 hemodialyses, polyuria set in and the maternal BUN and serum creatinine levels were within normal ranges 3 weeks after delivery. The importance of close cooperation between gynecologist and internist is stressed.
