Abstract
Conclusions:
The high incidences of hypertension, preeclampsia, and infection during pregnancy underscore the high-risk nature of pregnancy in both pancreas-kidney and kidney alone recipients.
Although overall offspring outcomes are similar in both PK and K groups, pregnancy in PK recipients may be associated with higher incidences of maternal infections and overall graft loss.
Centers are encouraged to report all pregnancies in transplant recipients to the NTPR.
