Pregnancy in Living Kidney Donors : An Evidence-Based Review

Purpose of review: To review the current studies and guidelines on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in female kidney donors.

Recent findings: Living kidney donors include a significant amount of young women of child-bearing age. Safety and possible risks of pregnancy after donation are a concern for female kidney donor candidates. Many current studies indicate a higher risk of preeclampsia in women after kidney donation. Considering the increasing number of living kidney donors, the maternal outcomes of living kidney donation is an active area of research.

Summary: Guidelines and consensus statements on the risk of pregnancy in living kidney donors recommend close monitoring of blood pressure, weight gain, and proteinuria during pregnancy. Current studies indicate an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in living kidney donors. Counseling and informing donor candidates about the possible risks is important.
