Pregnancy on short ‐daily home hemodialysis using low dialysate flow rate: A new hope for the end‐stage renal disease patients

Conclusion: Short‐daily hemodialysis using low dialysate flow rate during pregnancy seems to allow a good control of uremia and blood pressure without requiring a major increase of weekly dialysis duration. Therefore, it could become an alternative to other hemodialysis programs while allowing the patients to continue their treatment at home. However, other studies are necessary in order to define the position of this procedure during pregnancy.
