November 7, 2025
Discussions about contraceptive use for women with chronic kidney disease are often avoided by nephrologists, according to University of Cincinnati data presented this week at the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week global. meeting in Houston. Nephrologists reported that they see the importance of reproductive health but feel ill-equipped to discuss it with patients. Discomfort, limited training and confusing guidance were among the key barriers to discussions.
