Summary:
In the period 1966 - 1997 renal allografting was performed in 1746 recipients, 244 of whom were
women in fertile age. In 32 of them 45 pregnancies were registered. 29 of them (64 %) resulted in
abortion, which was spontaneous in 4 and medically advised in 25. There were 16 labours, 4 of
them free of any complications; of the latter, hypertension was the most frequent one (8). Of the
former, 13 were solved by caesarean section and 3 were vaginal deliveries. Of 15 live babies 7
were immature (one died 1,5 year later of renal failure due to microcystic kidneys).
No unfavourable effect of pregnancy on prognosis and on long-term graft function was found.
Key words:
Renal transplantation - Pregnancy - Complications - Cumulative graft survival.
