Abstract:
We report two cases of successful pregnancies in women after liver transplantation for end-stage liver dysfunction caused in one case by Wilson disease and in the second one by lupoid hepatitis. For woman with the Wilson disease it was a second pregnancy and for woman with lupoid hepatitis it was the first pregnancy. Mothers continued immunosuppressive therapy during their pregnancies. Labours started spontaneously at 39th and 36th week's of gestation. As a result the healthy two female infants weighing 3600 g and 2420 g respectively were born. The first woman with her baby was discharged from hospital on the third day after delivery and the second one and her baby on the sixth day after delivery. Both were in good condition.
