Abstract
Background
Some complications are frequently seen in pregnancies with kidney transplantation and graft functions may be impaired. In this study, it was aimed to examine the course and results of pregnancies after transplantation, the effect of pregnancy on graft functions and the risk factors in complications in these pregnancies.
Methods
A total of 24 pregnancies conceived after kidney transplantation due to end-stage renal disease between January 2013 and December 2020 and followed up in the Obstetrics and Gynecology clinic of our hospital were included in the study.
Results
The mean age was 31.8±6.4, the mean time between transplantation and pregnancy was 54±36 months, and the mean newborn weight was 1945±529.5 grams.
Of the pregnancies, abortion occurred in one (4.2%), preterm delivery in 17 (70.3%), and intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in 10 (41.7%). Immunosuppressant treatment was given to all pregnant women due to transplantation, and all women used tacrolimus. No graft rejection was seen.
The median serum creatinine level did not show a significant change during pregnancy according to the prenatal value (p>0.05 for each), and it increased significantly in the 6th month (p=0.006) and 3rd year (p=0.007) measurements. Urine protein level increased significantly in the third trimester compared to pre-pregnancy (p=0.009).
Conclusion
The findings show that pregnancy does not have a significant effect on maternal and fetal survival, graft rejection and graft function in pregnancies with kidney transplantation, but that complication rates such as hypertension, preterm delivery and low birth weight are high.
期刊介绍：
To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
