Unintended Pregnancy After Kidney Transplantation
Unintended pregnancy was not associated with acute kidney allograft rejection in the peripartum period, but it was associated with mycophenolate exposure and allograft loss at 2 years from pregnancy. The same social vulnerabilities that underlie difficulty in accessing reproductive care may be similarly important for transplant health. We recommend prepregnancy counseling and longitudinal follow-up of transplant recipients to reduce rates of unintended pregnancy and to optimize transplantation success over time.
