Abstract

The success of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) has greatly improved since the introduction of cyclosporine in 1980. Many young patients are given a second chance at life, and with this comes the restoration of menstrual abnormalities and the possibility of pregnancy^{(1, 2)}. Since the first successful pregnancy in a liver transplant patient took place in 1976 ^{(3, 4)}, a total of 29 babies have been born to 22 liver transplant recipients from the combined programs of the University of Colorado and the University of Pittsburgh. The complications and outcome of these pregnancies are reviewed and the effect on hepatic function is analyzed.
