Abstract

SUMMARY In recent years, successful pregnancies in renal transplant women have been reported worldwide. However, pregnancy in renal trasplant recipient is relatively rare in China. This paper reported a case of pregnancy 2 years post renal transplant. At the end of 28 weeks' gestation she had abnormal liver and renal function complicated with severe preeclampsia. Literatures were reviewed on considerations about pregnancy in renal transplant women. Maternal and neonatal outcomes can be improved by intensive care during pregnancy, proper immunosupression and timely termination of pregnancy.
