Webinar
Pregnancy and kidney disease
For women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who may want to have kids, pregnancy is a common concern. There are special things women should know and consider when making this big life decision.
Pregnancy with kidney disease is possible. But more advanced kidney disease can lead to lower chances of getting pregnant. And being pregnant with kidney disease can also lead to health risks for both moms and their babies. However, the chances of successful pregnancy are increasing for women with all stages of CKD, including those on dialysis or living with a kidney transplant.
Dr. Jessica Tangren has dedicated her life to helping women with kidney disease navigate pregnancy and all that comes with it. During this webinar she will discuss:
- How the chances of getting pregnant can change in women with kidney disease
- The steps women can take before pregnancy to minimize the associated risks
- How pregnancy can affect the trajectory of kidney disease in women
