Abstract :

Recent advances in surgical techniques and immunosuppressive therapies allowed a marked increase in successful allogeneic organ transplantation in women. Kidney transplantation is the most frequently encountered transplanted organ. Since the first successful pregnancy in a renal transplantation recipient in 1958, thousands of patients have successful pregnancies after renal transplantation. In this article we will discuss the effect of pregnancy on the allograft function. We will address a discussion of the immunosuppressive agent and their use safety during pregnancy. We will also discuss the factors that affect the course of pregnancy and the co-morbid factors that influence the maternal and fetal outcome. Finally, we will go into a comprehensive discussion of the medical and obstetric management of pregnant women after renal transplantation and how to adequately monitor a woman who got pregnant after successful allogeneic renal transplantation.
