Case description

Along with the progress of transplantation medicine, the number of liver transplant recipients has gradually increased in the last decade. Among different indications and clinical run, also some young females have been given a chance to live, become pregnant and give birth to a healthy child. However, pregnancy in liver recipients is associated with increased risk in the post transplant run, both in respect of graft failure and the fetus. A 22-year-old woman after two liver transplantations: first due to the secondary biliary cirrhosis induced by biliary atresia, and second for multiple complications (acute rejections, recurrent cholangitis and the development of AIH), was considered for the third liver transplantation.
