A 28-year-old woman who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation due to decompensated liver cirrhosis conceived 2 years after the operation. Immunosuppressive treatment was maintained during the pregnancy. The case was managed as high risk. Although intrauterine growth retardation arose in the third trimester, the patient finally gave birth to a healthy male baby. To our knowledge, the present case is the first successful pregnancy of an Asian woman after liver transplantation. The related problems are also discussed.
