"Pregnancy after living kidney donation, a systematic review of the available evidence and a review of the current guidance"
(Am J Transplant. 2022 Jun 18. doi: 10.1111/ajt.17122.)

In this article:
Understanding and communicating the risk of pregnancy complications post-living kidney donation is imperative as the majority of living kidney donors (LKD) are women of childbearing age. [The authors] aimed to identify all original research articles examining complications in post-donation pregnancies and compared the quality and consistency of related guidelines... [The authors found that] while the absolute risk of pregnancy complications remains low post-donation, a concerted effort is required to better identify and individualize risk in these women, such that consent to donation is truly informed.
