234 pregnancies in 140 renal transplant recipients were successful in 74.4% albeit with high prevalences of preterm and Caesarean deliveries (40.8% and 53%, respectively) and an increased incidence of preeclampsia. Patients with baseline serum creatinine of above 150 [mu]mol/L have an increased risk of allograft dysfunction resulting from the pregnancy. |
