Maternal and neonatal outcomes for kidney transplant recipients

Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier B.V..

OBJECTIVE: To report pregnancy outcomes for women with kidney transplantation and investigate whether different intervals after transplantation have different effects on pregnancy outcomes.

METHODS: A single-center retrospective study was performed. Based on intervals after transplantation, pregnant women with kidney transplantation are divided into two groups: intervals <5 years and ≧5 years. The maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared between the two groups.

RESULTS: No maternal and neonatal deaths occurred. The average age of mothers during pregnancy was 32.3 ± 4.1 years and they had a functioning transplant for 4 (interquartile ranges, 3, 6) years. Preeclampsia occurs in sixteen (16.5 %) pregnancies and gestational diabetes (GDM) occurs in twenty (20.6 %). Eighty-eight newborns (90.7 %) had a gestational age of <37 weeks. The average gestational age for live births was 33.8 ± 2.2 weeks and the average birth weight was 2285.6 ± 581.8 g. Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) occurs in fifty-one babies (52.6 %), intraventricular hemorrhage (ICH) occurs in twenty-nine (29.8 %), atrial septal defects (ASD) occurs in thirty-two (32.9 %) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) occurs in seven (7.2 %). Further analysis, pregnancy results, including pre-eclampsia, hypertension or GDM, did not differentiate between the two groups (intervals <5 years vs. ≧5 years). Neonatal outcomes, including premature delivery, low birth weight, mode of birth, small for gestational age (SGA), RDS, ICH, ASD, BPD were not distinguishable between the two groups (intervals <5 years vs. ≧5 years). The level of neonatal blood creatinine after birth was linearly related to high maternal creatinine, and can drop to normal levels within a week.

CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of maternal and neonatal complications in pregnancies following kidney transplantation is still high, despite the success of most pregnancies. Various posttransplant intervals had no significant impact on pregnancy outcomes.
