Key result
Alpha-hANP measurement guides ideal dry weight in pregnant hemodialysis patients to achieve successful delivery.
Why the study?
Successful pregnancy and delivery in maintenance hemodialysis patients have been reported with advances in dialysis and erythropoietin use, but optimal dry weight determination remains challenging.
Is alpha-hANP measurement useful for determining dry weight in pregnant patients on maintenance hemodialysis?

Is alpha-hANP measurement useful for determining dry weight in pregnant patients on maintenance hemodialysis?
Measurement of alpha-hANP may be a useful indicator for determining dry weight to safely manage pregnancy in patients on maintenance hemodialysis.
Hypothesis-generating for alpha-hANP-guided dry weight in pregnant hemodialysis patients; larger prospective studies needed before adoption.

Horiguchi et al. (1993) conducted a case report in Pregnancy on maintenance hemodialysis (n=2). alpha-hANP measurement for dry weight determination was evaluated on Successful pregnancy and delivery. Measurement of alpha-hANP was useful in determining ideal dry weight for two pregnant patients on maintenance hemodialysis, resulting in successful deliveries at 34 weeks.
