The safety and feasibility of pregnancy following liver transplantation (LT) have been accredited in a series of LT center. The first case in mainland China is reported. The follow-up data of a 22-year-old pregnant patient with end-stage liver disease undergone orthotopic liver transplantation were analyzed retrospectively. After surgery, the patient was uneventfully recovered and became pregnant 33 mo after LT. The patient was closely monitored and treated with a standard and individualized triple-drug immunosuppressive therapy throughout her pregnancy. Caesarean section was performed in March 18, 2004, and a health live-born infant was delivered. After the delivery, a 4-year follow-up period indicated that the patient was satisfactory with her condition and her baby was healthy. Our case shows that a successful pregnancy following LT is possible and safe in women with end-stage liver diseases under close monitoring. Three factors including mother, baby, and transplanted liver function must be considered for the safety of high-risk pregnancies. |
