Studies of kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19 report high rates (62-86%) of immunosuppression reduction (both CNIs and antiproliferative agents) especially in hospitalised or severely ill patients [5, 6] . However, The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists' guidelines on managing pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic suggest that although women with kidney transplants should ideally shield, they will need regular face-to-face visits to monitor graft function, drug levels and maternal/fetal complications [8] . ./cache/cord-340573-6uz6uw7i.txt ./txt/cord-340573-6uz6uw7i.txt
