Effect of Pregnancy on eGFR After Kidney Transplantation: A National Cohort Study
Conclusions.
The first pregnancy has a small, but insignificant, effect on eGFR slope in KTRs. Midterm hyperfiltration, a marker for renal reserve capacity, was associated with better eGFR and death-censored graft survival. In this KTR cohort with long-term follow-up, no significant effect of pregnancy on kidney function was detected.
