Pregnancy After Transplant

The National Transplantation Pregnancy Registry

The National Transplantation Pregnancy Registry (NTPR) was established in 1991 at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to study the outcomes of pregnancies in transplant recipients in North America, including female transplant recipients and those fathered by male transplant recipients.

More than 1400 recipients, reporting over 2200 pregnancies, have participated in the registry. Included are kidney, liver, liver-kidney, pancreas-kidney, heart, heart-lung, and lung recipients from all over North America.

The NTPR is an ongoing study. Transplant coordinators, physicians and recipients are encouraged to submit a one-page recipient questionnaire regarding post-transplant pregnancies to the NTPR.
