Kidney disease and fertility

Chronic kidney disease affects fertility and needs joint planning.

Pregnancy after treatment

Reduced kidney function can disturb cycles and raises pregnancy risks including pre-eclampsia and preterm birth. Care is planned jointly between nephrology, obstetrics and the fertility clinic, and medication review is essential.

Also known as: CKD, renal disease
