¿Cuáles son los efectos neuropsicológicos durante la primera infancia en niños expuestos a inmunosupresores en el desarrollo intrauterino? Inmunosupresores y efectos cognitivos a largo plazo

Mexico ranks ninth in kidney transplants, a procedure prac- ticed in the ages of highest productivity , affecting various as- pects such as procreation. Concerning pregnancy care, opinions are diversified as to how long to wait after a kidney transplant, as well as the consequences of the use of immunosuppressants. However, constant characteristics include low birth weight and preterm births, which derive significant cognitive impairment; its severity determining their impact. These implications are secondary to the use of immunosuppressants; we could there- fore hypothesize that they can cause alterations in executive function, attention, memory, language and motor development; nevertheless the question arises of whether these alterations are also present in infants that were exposed to immunosuppres- sants but did not have low birth weight or preterm birth. Still no studies are available that directly correlate immunosup- pressants with cognitive alterations, so a wide field of research remains open.
