[Renal transplantation and pregnancy].

The authors report four cases of pregnancy in a series of 174 women who had undergone renal transplantation. In one case the pregnancy was complicated by a pre-eclamptic attack and premature delivery. A review of the literature shows that the risks to the mother and the kidney are marginal. The risk to the child, however, is more serious. Pregnancy in transplant patients is therefore a high-risk pregnancy requiring advance precautions and careful surveillance.
