The presence of renal impairment or hypertension, or both, usually leads to complications, especially in the mother. A patient is described who had a baseline creatinine clearance of about 35 mL/min-1.73 m2 and two successful pregnancies. Renal function deteriorated in the 3rd trimester of the first pregnancy but was reversible; permanent loss of function occurred in the 3rd trimester of the second pregnancy. The potential fetal and maternal risks and details of management of pregnant transplant recipients are reviewed.
