Abstract
HE MAIN goal of transplantation is the restoration of all functional capacity, which includes the return of fertility for women. Pregnancy can be for some the main reason to seek transplantation, but pregnancy after kidney transplantation (Ktx) is not without risks for both mother and fetus. These pregnancies are usually complicated with an increased risk of acute rejection episodes, impairment of graft function, infections, first trimester abortion, intrauterine growth retardation, and premature delivery.’ It is unclear whether or not cyclosporine A (CsA) and FK-506 have a harmful effect on pregnancy outcome and little is known about pregnancy outcome in multiorgan transplant recipients. This paper reviews our experience with pregnancy in our female renal transplant recipients and documents long-term maternal and fetal outcomes.
