Objective:
To investigate the maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant patients after kidney transplantation, analyze the influencing factors, and provide a reference for clinical management.
Methods:
The clinical data of 4 pregnant patients after renal transplantation in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including basic information, pregnancy and delivery, use of immunosuppressive agents, and maternal and infant prognosis. The related issues of pregnancy after renal transplantation are discussed in combination with a literature review.
Results:
All the four patients delivered successfully. The main complications during pregnancy are gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus, and proteinuria. All the newborns were born preterm with birth weights between 1860 and 2990 g at 34 to 36 weeks of gestation and were in good health after birth. The renal function of 3 patients was stable after delivery, and 1 patient had proteinuria increased to "4+" after delivery and was in the recovery period.
Conclusions:
Under strict monitoring and reasonable management, pregnancy after renal transplantation can achieve good maternal and neonatal outcomes.
