Abstract

The frequency and variety of solid organ transplantation in reproductive-age women increases each year. Pregnancy is no longer contraindicated in transplant recipients provided that their graft is functioning well and they are in good general health. Physicians who care for pregnant transplant recipients should be aware of the surmounting data that are available in the literature and through registries of maternal, fetal, and neonatal risks and complications as well as outcome data. Newer immunosuppressive agents preserve graft function and registry data attest to their safety in pregnancy. For optimal maternal and neonatal outcomes, a multispecialty care approach that includes the obstetrician/maternal-fetal specialist,transplant team, anesthesiologist, and neonatal team is prudent when caring for pregnancies after organ transplantation.
