    Abstract:
    Women with uremia are usually infertile. Following successful renal transplants ovarian function resumes and conception becomes possible. Two cases of pregnancy following renal transplants are reported. The first patient had a Caesarean section at 33 weeks gestation for maternal indications, the second patient had a Caesarean section at 36 weeks gestation because of premature spontaneous rupture of the membranes. Both mothers and infants are in satisfactory condition. The problems of pregnancies following renal transplants are discussed and the literature since 1963 is reviewed. Pregnancy following renal transplantation is a high risk pregnancy for both the mother and the fetus. These high risks are acceptable if close supervision of the pregnancy by the nephrologist, gynaecologist and paediatrician are possible and if co-operation of the mother is satisfactory.
