Maternal and perinatal outcome in post renal transplant patients on immunosuppressive therapy : a report of five cases
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 2
Abstract
Infertility is common in patients with end stage renal disease because women do not ovulate and are unable to conceive1,2. But as renal function improves following kidney transplantation (KT), normal ovulatory cycles and fertility are usually resumed within a few months of KT3,4. However, the rates of both pregnancy and successful pregnancy remain lower than in general population. Because of the multiple risk factors like immunosuppressive agents and the already existing co-morbidities, pregnancy in a KT recipient is definitely considered a high risk situation for both the mother and the fetus and the timing of pregnancy following transplant is very important to reduce these risks.
