Abstract
Congenital analbuminaemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterised by a severe reduction or total absence of serum albumin. This condition has implications for therapeutics as a large proportion of commonly used drugs are plasma protein bound where albumin is the primary component of plasma protein. This is the first case report of pregnancy in a patient with congenital analbuminaemia in the medical literature. In the absence of drug dosage guidelines for patients with congenital analbuminaemia, a list of drugs which may be required for this patient during pregnancy, delivery and/or emergency situations were compiled by a multidisciplinary team. Our patient suffered from polyhydramnios during her pregnancy which was successfully managed with albumin transfusions and had a normal vaginal delivery with no complications in the intrapartum or postpartum period. The management and unique challenges of pregnancy in a patient with congenital analbuminaemia are discussed.
