WCN25-1905 A Survey into Women’s Health Amongst UK Nephrologists

Women with chronic kidney disease (CKD) face significant challenges across their lifespan, including increased risks associated with hormonal contraception, fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, and a heightened likelihood of osteoporosis and fractures. As CKD progresses, these women experience higher rates of complications during pregnancy, such as pre-eclampsia, preterm delivery, and the need for cesarean sections. Despite the importance of tailored family planning and preconception care, studies show that nephrologists often fail to consistently address these concerns with their patients, leaving many women feeling uninformed and unsupported in managing their reproductive health.
