[Pregnancy and labor following liver transplantation]

We report on pregnancy and delivery in a patient following hepatic transplantation. After an uneventful gestation at term, a child of normal body weight was born. To the best of our knowledge only 7 successful pregnancies following hepatic transplantation have been reported, one of them in the Federal Republic of Germany. Amongst the publications mentioned there are only two further reports on an immunosuppressive drug regimen utilising cyclosporine plus prednisolone. We stress the importance of the following items: peripartual immunosuppression, analgesia as well as the necessary control of the coagulation system.
