INTRODUCTION The first reported post-transplant pregnancy occurred in March 1958 and was
published several years later.1 This female recipient had received a kidney trans plant from her identical twin sister and delivered a healthy baby boy by cesarean section. Over the ensuing years, numerous case reports, single center reports, sur veys, and registry publications have reported outcomes of pregnancies in female transplant recipients. Since even large individual centers have limited experience with post-transplant pregnancies, registry data and surveys provide important information for comparing outcomes among different recipient groups.
