Synopsis
With higher risks to mother and baby in pregnant women with renal disease, critical decision-making is key.

Giving practical guidance for antenatal, post-partum and maternity unit challenges, this book supports good practice and evidence-based management.

The book includes evidence on antenatal and post-partum care; management of acute kidney injury in the delivery suite; and care guidelines for acute, chronic, and previously undiagnosed kidney diseases. The book also covers acute kidney injury, transplant, dialysis, pre-conception counselling, and medications. Previously published by RCOG, this revised edition includes: • Updated expert consensus statements • Complete revision, with a new chapter on contraception • Updates in management of acute kidney injury, hypertension, dialysis and pregnancy, renal transplantation and pre-eclampsia. Structured to help clinicians make decisions, this book is for use by obstetricians, renal physicians, maternal medicine clinicians, midwives, urologists and specialist nurses.

With updated expert consensus guidelines from obstetrics and nephrology, the book provides reliable and up-to date guidance for the care of pregnant women with kidney disease.

Covers all aspects of pregnancy, from antenatal to post-partum care as well as delivery suite management, for those caring for women with acute, chronic, and previously undiagnosed kidney diseases.

Revised to include a new chapter on contraception, and updates in the management of hypertension, dialysis and pregnancy, renal transplantation and pre-eclampsia.
