A Study to Evaluate the Risk of Adverse Renal Events When a Renal Transplant Recipient Becomes Pregnant

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that pregnancy post-transplant will increase the risk of adverse renal events (defined as acute rejection, reduction in GFR by 30%, new or worsening proteinuria, or graft-loss).  The risk will be increased in women with complications in pregnancy, such as preeclampsia or pre-term delivery.
