There are many reports on pregnancy In chronic renal failure with creatinine (Cr) levels ≤ 1.5 mg/dl, but pregnancy is uncommon when the levels are above this limit and specially over 3 mg/dl. It is likely that hormonal abnormalities involving low progesterone and high prolactine levels play a key role. We report on three cases with Cr levels equal to or greater than 6 mg/dl during pregnancy or after delivery. We recommend that Cr levels be determined in the initial follow-up of any woman who wishes to become pregnant.
