Physical and psychological follow-up on offspring of renal allograft recipients. 1980

B M Korsch, and J D Klein, and V F Negrete, and D J Henderson, and R N Fine

In light of concern regarding the effect of pregnancy on renal allograft recipients and the lack of information about their offspring, we studied ten infants born to eight allograft recipients (five female and three male). In all five female recipients, allograft function remained normal throughout pregnancy and the puerperium. Complications of pregnancy were minimal. Four patients were delivered by cesarean section, three for obstetrical reasons and one electively. Three of ten infants were premature births. There were no significant neonatal complications. At time of follow-up study, the offspring were 4 months to 6 8/12 years of age; physical examination was normal on all offspring. Developmental test results ranged from 82 to 131. Parents tended to be overly cautious and sought medical attention at the first sign of illness. Our data indicated no adverse effect on renal allograft function of the female recipients and no physical or developmental abnormalities in the offspring.
