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.

Considering the increasing prevalence of living kidney donors, maternal and fetal outcomes following living kidney donation are an active area of research.
