Among the 13 cases, 10 had successful pregnancies with stable graft function; one died of pulmonary infection and cardiac insufficiency with functioning graft after delivery (the baby was safe); 2 experienced chronic rejection proven by biopsy, getting graft lost and pregnancy terminated one returned to hemodialysis till now and one received successful retransplantation after 1 year hemodialysis. 11 offerings are healthy by now.Conclusion Patient/kidney survival in our study was 76.9?% . Our data and literature have demonstrated that pregnancy has no effect on graft long term survival or function.
