Successful pregnancy in a renal transplant recipient taking cyclosporin A.
A 27 year old woman with a fourth cadaveric renal transplant successfully completed a 33 week pregnancy whilst taking cyclosporin A and prednisolone. Her renal function remained stable despite recurrent urinary tract infections, hypertension, gestational diabetes, and Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea. The infant, delivered electively at 33 weeks, was small for gestational age but otherwise normal.
