Microscopic polyangiitis, chronic hemodialysis: A successful pregnancy

Abstract

Few pregnancies in microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) are described, that a high-risk nursery association and/or fetal. We report the case of a pregnancy carried to a successful conclusion without maternal or fetal complications in a patient followed for MPA in remission with azathioprine as a sequela-stage renal disease dialysis. This observation underlines the importance to plan pregnancy in patients treated for vasculitis, full and sustained remission, and taking into account the consequences of the vasculitis. Treatment decisions in case of relapse during pregnancy are based on the severity of the visceral and the term pregnancy.
