Abstract

Pregnancy in renal transplant recipients is common and, in spite of several potential problems, overall maternal and fetal outcome has been good in patients with transplants that are functioning well. The presence of renal impairment or hypertension, or both, usually leads to complications, especially in the mother. A patient is described who had a baseline creatinine clearance of about 35 mL/min-1.73 m2 and two successful pregnancies. Renal function deteriorated in the 3rd trimester of the first pregnancy but was reversible; permanent loss of function occurred in the 3rd trimester of the second pregnancy. The potential fetal and maternal risks and details of management of pregnant transplant recipients are reviewed.
