Pregnancy Complications and Impact on Kidney Allograft After Kidney Transplantation in IgA Nephropathy.

ABSTRACT: Pregnancy in kidney transplantation (KT) recipients has been challenging because of the high risk of maternal, fetal, and renal complications. Although patients with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN)-chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a high risk for hypertension in pregnancy (HIP), the maternal risk in KT recipients with IgAN as the etiology remains unclear. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of pregnant KT recipients who delivered at our hospital. The incidence of maternal and fetal complications and the impact on kidney allografts between the group with IgAN as the primary kidney disease and the group with other primary diseases were compared. The analysis included 73 pregnancies in 64 KT recipients. The IgAN group had a higher incidence of HIP than the non-IgAN group (6
