Pregnancy is seen very rarely in patients undergoing routine dialysis program due to chronic renal insufficiency. Although successful pregnancies have been described, high complication ratios are present for both the mother and the fetus. In the recent years, due to the developments in dialysis methods, improvements in patient follow-up and multidisciplinary patient approaches, there were increases in fertilization probability and postconceptional live birth rates in this patient group. Pregnant hemodialysis patients are under a high risk of cardiac comorbidity. Gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and hypervolemia consist a high risk in hemodialysis patients with regards to the mother, however, no guideline related to the screening of cardiovascular functions of these patients is present. In this article, we investigated a hemodialysis patient with successful gestation and birth yet developed postpartum cardiomyopathy.
