title: Successful pregnancy in a renal transplant recipient taking cyclosporin A: hormonal and immunological studies.
abstract: A successful pregnancy following renal allotransplantation is reported. Until now azathioprine has been used as the standard immunosuppressive agent in such cases. Because of the potential teratogenicity of azathioprine, low doses of cyclosporin A, a new immunosuppressive drug, was used in our pregnant recipient. We present the management and the outcome of the pregnancy, as well as the hormonal and immunological follow up.
