While most people trying to conceive do not have kidney disease, there is no doubt that kidney disease is becoming a growing problem. In addition, the role undiagnosed kidney disease in men or women interfering with ability to have a baby may be underestimated.

Having a child is a joy but conceiving or carrying a baby to term can be a challenge if you have medical problems. A question that likely crosses the mind of many people of reproductive age, male or female is – “will i be able to have children?”. The good news is that many of the causes of reduced reproductive capability in patients with kidney disease are known and can be treated by carefully following the instructions of knowledgeable specialists in kidney disease and reproduction.

This post will aim to address the background behind reproductive potential of patients with kidney disease and answer questions of relevance to patients with either advanced kidney disease, those undergoing dialysis treatment or those who have a kidney transplant. The information in this post is NOT a substitute for close consultation with a kidney specialist and readers are advised to seek the counsel of such experts to address their care and concerns.[i][/i]
