Abstract | Living kidney donation is associated with glomerular hyperfiltration, predisposing for the development of chronic kidney disease. The present meta-analysis aims to gather current evidence and clarify whether kidney donors are at increased risk of future pregnancy complications. Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, CENTRAL and Google Scholar were systematically searched from inception to August 29, 2021. Observational studies comparing the rates of adverse pregnancy outcomes among kidney donors and non-donors were selected. Random-effects models were fitted to provide meta-analysis estimates, while the quality of evidence was appraised with the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach. Five studies were included, comprising 430 donors and 23,540 non-donors. Living kidney donation was associated with significantly higher risk of preeclampsia (OR: 2.86, 95% CI: 1.62-5.05, moderate quality of evidence), gestational hypertension (OR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.11-5.74, low quality of evidence) and preterm birth (OR: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.01-1.74, moderate quality of evidence). The anticipated absolute rates of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and preterm birth were 7.4%, 5.4% and 8.3%, respectively. The risk of gestational diabetes, cesarean delivery, low birthweight and fetal death was similar between the two groups (low quality of evidence). In conclusion, women with history of kidney donation are at significantly increased risk of preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and preterm birth in subsequent pregnancies, although the absolute rate of complications remains below 10%. Future studies should confirm these effects and improve potential donor counseling by individualizing the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. |
