Summary
Over the past 50 years, thousands of young women have attempted pregnancy after solid vital organ transplantation, often with full success. In theory, since pregnancy induces a state of immunotolerance, gestation should not pose any specific threat [1]. Unfortunately, data available from the Transplantation Pregnancy Registry tell a different story: gestation following a solid organ transplant is associated with an increased risk of major obstetric syndromes, including preterm birth and fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Collectively these complications as the ‘Great Obstetric Syndromes’ (GOS) [2]. Given this reality, close follow-up must not end at delivery, and specific care must become part of the woman’s reproductive healthcare needs.
