Pregnancy in a patient with Goodpasture syndrome and renal transplantation

Am J Perinatol. 1996 Feb;13(2):79-80. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-994296.

Abstract

Patients with Goodpasture syndrome have classically had decreased fertility and associated pregnancy wastage. Renal transplantation can increase the likelihood of successful pregnancy. We describe a patient who carried a pregnancy into the third trimester and had a good neonatal outcome. However, she developed superimposed preeclampsia with subsequent graft rejection.
