Abstract

Reproductive healthcare management for adolescents and young adults (AYA) with chronic kidney disease is an essential part of their overall healthcare. These young people are facing a multitude of healthcare realities, many of which have a direct relation on their overall sexual and reproductive health. During this time period, these AYA are faced with important health-related decisions that can either increase or improve their risk for negative long-term health outcomes. Special attention is required to ensure appropriate steps are taken and all essential factors are addressed to best ensure their maximal positive healthcare outcomes.
