In women with renal transplants glomerular filtration rate (GFR) increases during pregnancy but how soon the increment occurs, its relation to pre-pregnancy GFR, and the overall pattern of change is unknown. Twenty-four hour creatinine clearances (24 h CCr) were measured prospectively in 10 pregnancies in 8 allograft recipients before conception, throughout pregnancy, 8-12 wk postpartum, and 4-6 mo. thereafter. Inulin (CIn) and creatinine (CCr) clearances during infusion were also determined and protein excretion was evaluated. The results were compared to those in similar studies in 10 healthy women. By the 10th gestational wk 24 h CCr was 124 .+-. (SD) 15.9 ml/min in healthy women (an increase of 38%: range, 18-69%) and in transplant patients was 105 .+-. 28.1 ml/min (an increase of 34%: range, 10-60%), with the greatest increments in those whose allografts functioned best before conception, regardless of donor source and sex or the transplant-pregnancy interval. In late pregnancy mean 24 h CCr decreased by 19% (range, 6-28%) in healthy women and by 34% (range, 12-57%) in the transplant patients, but in most this did not represent graft deterioration nor lead to permanent impairment. At all time points CIn values were 5-10% greater than those for 24h CCr but slightly less than infusion CCr values. Protein excretion increased throughout pregnancy and by the 3rd trimester in healthy women averaged 200 mg in 24 h and regularly exceeded 500 mg in 24 h in transplant patients, which was 3 times nonpregnant levels and probably not clinically significant. No definite pattern was evident regarding the effect of pregnancy on longterm renal prognosis but in 8 of the 10 pregnancies GFR had returned to pre-pregnancy values by 8-12 wk postpartum. It can be concluded that renal allografts adapt to pregnancy normally and that reduced GFR and proteinuria in the 3rd trimester are common but usually transient. Further studies are needed to answer questions on the effects of pregnancy on renal prognosis.
