Pregnancies with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and high disease activity in rheumatic diseases are high-risk events with adverse outcomes for both the mother and fetus. We herein report a 35-year-old woman with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis related to JIA, and CKD stage G4A2 who wished to have children. She achieved a successful pregnancy, even in the presence of these multiple risk factors, using tocilizumab to control the disease activity of JIA and AA amyloidosis, along with antihypertensive drugs to control her blood pressure before and during pregnancy.
