title: [Pregnancy after renal transplantation. 27 patients and review of the literature].
abstract: We report the course and outcome of 30 pregnancies in 27 renal transplant patients between 1970 and 1988. Delay between transplantation and pregnancy was 7.3 +/- 4.8 years. There were 1 twin pregnancy and 3 successive pregnancies. Immunosuppressive regime was prednisone and azathioprine in 28 cases and cyclosporine in 2. Hypertension (33%), preterm delivery (74%) and premature rupture of the membranes (33%) were the main complication encountered. The cesarean section rate was 73%, mainly because of these complications. Twenty-seven patients delivered of 31 healthy children. There was no congenital anomaly. Mean birth weight was 2.640 +/- 645 g. In utero growth retardation occurred in 7 cases (23%). Pregnancy after renal transplantation is of good prognosis for both the mother and child but the course of pregnancy can be complicated by hypertension, preterm birth and growth retardation.
