Nocturnal hemodialysis might improve fertility of women on renal replacement therapy
This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.
In comparison with women in the general population, women on conventional hemodialysis have decreased fertility and a higher incidence of fetal mortality. Barua et al. have suggested that uremia-related changes might partially explain these poor outcomes. They hypothesize that by enhancing solute clearance, nocturnal hemodialysis could facilitate successful pregnancy in women on renal replacement therapy. In a recent paper, the group has reported the clinical outcomes of all women who delivered a live infant during the period 2001–2006 while on nocturnal hemodialysis in Toronto, ON, Canada.
