Although pregnancy has become more frequent in patients undergoing hemodialysis, it remains a relatively rare event and carries a high risk of complications for both the mother and the fetus. In parallel, multiple pregnancies are also associated with a high risk of complications for the mother and the fetus, even in healthy women. The presence of a twin pregnancy in a woman with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis is an even rarer event and is considered a very high‐risk situation. We describe the case of a 31‐year‐old hemodialysis patient who successfully gave birth to twins at 29 weeks after a period of alternate diurnal and nocturnal hemodialysis.
