Using consistent diagnostic criteria, this study shows high rates of maternal and neonatal complications in pregnancies following kidney transplantation. In particular, we reveal a high rate of early-onset preeclampsia requiring operative preterm delivery, conferring long-term risks on both the mother and child.
