Abstract
Liver transplantation has become a successful treatment modality for serious hepatic disease and it has been reported that there are successful pregnanies after liver transplantation. Previous reports regarding pregnancy after liver transplantation have described an increased risk of pregnancy complications, such as hypertension, preeclampsia, preterm delivery, and anemia. Hence, it is suggested that pregnancy after liver transplantation should be managed as high-risk pregnancy. We have experienced a case of successful full-term delivery after liver transplantation in patient with Wilson's disease and presented with brief review of literatures.
Key Words: Pregnancy, Liver transplantation
