Year: 2025

Type: editorial

Abstract: The optimal management of pregnancy in women with end-stage kidney disease remains an important and evolving topic of debate.1,2 Historically, kidney transplantation has been viewed as the optimal path to achieving favorable maternal and fetal outcomes through restoration of endocrine and metabolic homeostasis.1–3 However, transplantation carries maternal and fetal risks.2 In addition, lengthy waitlists for deceased donors and limited access to living donation can make transplantation an impractical option for young women wishing to conceive.
