End stage renal disease is one of the severe organ complications for the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and usually needs dialysis and/or transplant. A well controlled SLE lady in reproductive age not only has the chance of same graft and patient survival in comparison with the other transplant patients, she can also bear a healthy baby and safe delivery. However, she has to go along with several problems during pregnancy. This is a 29 year old lady who sustained SLE at the age of 16 and received hemodialysis at 20 because of ESRD. Fortunately, she was offered an excellent kidney by her younger brother at 25 and pregnancy was detected only eight months after transplantation. During the child bearing period, she was quite well except an episode of pneumonia and pleural effusion. At 37th gestational age, the baby was borne through Caesarian section (CS). The baby was healthy with a normal activity and growth percentile. Now both mother and child ( > 2 years old) are in healthy condition and are followed up at transplantation, immunology, obstetric, and pediatric clinics regularly. The aim of this paper is to share our team-work experience on a transplanted SLE mother during pregnancy and peri-natal period with the readers. Hopefully, it is helpful for the management of transplanted SLE patients in such an uncommon scenario. |
