Can you carry twins full term with one kidney?

It is possible to carry twins full term with one kidney, but it is important to be closely monitored by healthcare providers throughout the pregnancy. While most women with one kidney are able to carry full-term pregnancies without complications, there are increased risks associated with pregnancy with one kidney.

Potential risks:

1. Hypertension (high blood pressure).

2. Preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and protein in the urine).

3. Increased risk of premature birth.

4. Lower birth weight.

5. Fetal growth restriction.

6. Kidney failure during pregnancy.

Healthcare providers, typically a high-risk pregnancy specialist and a nephrologist, monitor the health of both the mother and babies closely throughout the pregnancy and adjust care as needed to manage potential risks and ensure the best possible outcome for the mother and babies.
