Gynecologic issues in peritoneal dialysis

Chrysostomos A Dimitriadis et al. Adv Perit Dial. 2011.

Abstract

This paper reviews the issues associated with the reproductive system in the special population of female patients with end-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (PD). We summarize current knowledge concerning cancer screening tests, elective and urgent gynecologic procedures, and the issues of menstruation, contraception, pregnancy, and delivery in these patients. Finally, we present the potential effects of gynecologic problems on PD and the complications of PD that can present with symptoms of the female genitalia.
