BackgroundLittle is known about pregnancy outcomes in multiple organ transplant recipients. We present a case of pregnancy in a patient after liver and kidney transplantation for the genetic disorder of type 1 primary hyperoxaluria.CaseA 14-year-old Hispanic teenager presented with end-stage renal disease and had a kidney biopsy that revealed hyperoxaluria. A liver biopsy revealed type 1 primary hyperoxaluria. After a year of dialysis and worsening renal status, she underwent a combined orthotopic liver and kidney transplant. The patient subsequently became pregnant, but she required no antihypertensive therapy throughout the prenatal or postpartum period and showed no signs of renal or liver graft rejection. She delivered by cesarean at 38 weeks.ConclusionCombined liver and kidney transplant recipients who become pregnant can have a successful outcome.
