In 1978, Walcott and coworkers documented the first
pregnancy in a liver transplant recipient [1]. The recipient’s
immunosuppressive regimen included prednisone and
azathioprine. Her pregnancy was uncomplicated, and she delivered
a healthy male, weighing 2400 g, at term. Since Walcott’s report,
there have been hundreds of pregnancies reported worldwide in
liver transplant recipients. Whether the transplant could take in
an adverse effect of the pregnancy or whether the pregnancy could
potentiate liver transplant it is not settled [2].
