Study investigates hidden health risks for children of transplant mothers
NCT ID NCT07291258
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at the long-term health of children (16 years and older) whose mothers had a solid organ transplant before pregnancy. Researchers want to see if these children have higher risks for heart or kidney problems, possibly due to the mother's transplant or medications. About 200 participants will have one-time physical tests and provide blood, urine, and stool samples. The goal is to better understand any health effects and improve future counseling for transplant patients considering pregnancy.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
All offspring born after maternal KTx or LiTx and aged ≥16 years in the Netherlands will be eligible for inclusion. All offspring, at any age born after PTx (including pancreas islet transplantation), HTx or LuTx in the Netherlands will be eligible for inclusion. For all participants it will be emphasized that the invasive test (blood sample) is optional, participants can still participate in the study if they don't want a blood sample taken (or if they don't want to participate in another specific part of the study.) Data will be compared to reference values and/or existing birth cohorts, and if applicable, part of the data will be compared to a control group of healthy adolescents and (young) adults from existing birth cohorts or the Lifelines cohort.
