title: Pregnancy following renal transplant.
abstract: Pregnant patients who have experienced a renal transplant require specialized obstetric management and nursing interventions. Patient care must be developed in a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the needs of the pregnancy as well as the allograft status. Medications to protect the allograft from rejection present unique concerns in the clinical care management of pregnant women. This article describes the collaborative patient care that brings these areas together and reviews nursing interventions and therapies appropriate for the patient who experiences a pregnancy following renal transplant.
