Where this comes from

Abstract

Pregnancy after kidney transplantation is highly successful, though not without risk. A new national Dutch study of a large series of pregnancies in transplanted women highlights the complexities of pregnancy in this cohort and notes a move toward pregnancies in women with "less-than-perfect" graft function. We discuss these new data defining pregnancy outcomes and the ethical and clinical challenges that may arise in these mothers.
