Successful obstetric outcome after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation.
A 34-year-old woman became pregnant two years after having a simultaneous pancreas and kidney (SPK) transplantation, necessitated by type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease. The pregnancy was uneventful until 30 weeks' gestation, when she developed pancreatitis and a worsening of mild hypertension. A healthy 1700 g boy was delivered by caesarean section at 34 weeks' gestation. This is the first report of a successful pregnancy after SPK transplantation in Australia.
