Abstract

In this case report, a 41-year-old nullipara obtained pregnancy one and a half year after a simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SKP). After SKP, the woman had no need for insulin and no hypertension. Her kidney function was stable during pregnancy and no insulin was needed. During the last weeks of pregnancy, increased blood pressure was seen. Biochemically, there were no signs of preeclampsia and no proteinuria. An elective cesarean section was performed in gestational week 37+5 and a healthy boy, 2,710 g. (-1.2 standarddeviation) was born. Pregnancy after SKP is possible and can have a good prognosis.
