Abstract
Pregnancy is possible for women after liver transplantation. However, these women have a higher risk of pre eclampsia, hypertension, small for gestational age and preterm delivery than the normal obstetric population. Pregnancy can be safely considered one year after the transplantation provided hepatic and renal functions are stable. Renal dysfunction is associated with a higher risk of foetal and maternal complication. Immunosuppressive medication should be continued. Pregnancy does not appear to alter hepatic graft function. Careful monitoring of these pregnancies is essential for favourable outcome.
