Pregnancy in patients on haemodialysis (HD) is uncommon and carries a high risk of fetal and maternal complications. Multiple pregnancies carry a high risk even in normal individuals; the risk is higher in dialysis patients. We report a patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), who conceived while on HD, and had a successful triplet pregnancy. To our knowledge, successful triplet pregnancy in patients on HD has not been reported previously.
