ABSTRACT
Pregnancy in kidney and liver transplant recipients presents unique challenges and risks for both maternal and fetal health. This article examines the management of pregnancy in kidney and liver transplant recipients, focusing on pre-pregnancy counselling, trimester-specific care, the teratogenic effects of immunosuppressive drugs, and the role of the multidisciplinary team. While South African (SA) data on this topic are limited, the Transplant Pregnancy Registry International has provided valuable insights. Despite the increased risk of maternal and fetal complications, the overall risk of graft loss during pregnancy is low. Graft survival rates are comparable between pregnant and non- pregnant transplant recipients, except for pregnancies occurring within 1 year of transplantation. By addressing the complexities of managing pregnant women with kidney or liver transplants, this article underscores the importance of tailored care and the involvement of various medical specialists. It also explores the safety of and potential complications associated with specific immunosuppressive therapies during pregnancy. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding and optimise the management of these high-risk pregnancies in SA.
