Abstract

We describe a successful pregnancy in a 22-year-old patient with advanced renal failure, who gave birth to a living boy in the 35th week of pregnancy. At the time of spontaneous delivery the mother had a serum creatinine of 851 μmol/l. No dialysis treatment had been instituted during this successful pregnancy.
