Pregnancy after kidney and kidney-pancreas transplantation under tacrolimus: a single center's experience.

Background: Chronic renal failure leads to amenorrhea, and successful pregnancy is rare. The aim of the present report is to examine the outcome of pregnancies under tacrolimus after kidney transplantation (KTx) and simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation (SPKTx).

Method: All pregnancies under tacrolimus after KTx or SPKTx from 1993 to April 2002 were retrospectively examined.
