Show Notes

For some people, parenthood is an important life goal. But for women who have received a kidney transplant, concerns about safety have made planning for parenthood full of uncertainty. 

Today we speak to Clinical Associate Professor Shilpa Jesudason about her amazing work uncovering the data that is reassuring patients and clinicians about what to expect from pregnancy after a kidney transplant.

Shilpa is a Staff Specialist Nephrologist and Chair of the Clinical Research Group at the Royal Adelaide Hospital’s Central Northern Adelaide Renal and Transplant Service (CNARTS).
