The authors describe the first case of a successful pregnancy in the Czech Republic in a patient treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The 22-year-old patient became pregnant ten months after the onset of treatment by peritoneal dialysis. During pregnancy deterioration of arterial hypertension occurred, deterioration of anaemia and from the 29th week onwards cholestasis gravidarum developed. The development of the foetus was within normal limits. Because of suspected preeclampsia the pregnancy was terminated during the 35th week by Caesarean section. The patient was delivered of a healthy eutrophic boy without any congenital abnormalities.
