Pregnancy following Renal Transplantation

Abstract

A series of 7 renal transplant patients with 9 pregnancies is reported. A spontaneous abortion at 10 weeks was the only major problem. Of the other 8 pregnancies, 6 were delivered per vaginam and 2 by elective caesarean section, all after 34 weeks. The birthweights were slightly under the mean for the patients’ age but had been made up to normal by three months. Only one rejection episode occurred during pregnancy. Mild rejection episodes occurred in 4 patients within two months following delivery.
