Abstract
The course of a successful pregnancy in a kidney transplant recipient suffering from hypoparathyroidism is reported. The infant, born at 34 weeks' gestation, had normocalcemia and transient hyperparathyroidism. Maternal hypocalcemic attacks are liable to occur in the third trimester. Close observation with adequate supplements of calcium and vitamin D derivatives are required. Enhancement of fetal lung maturation and early delivery are advocated as effective treatment for the increasing frequency of hypocalcemic seizures.
