Abstract

(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2017;96(9):1106–1111) There are limited data on pregnancy following liver transplant (LT). Immunosuppression is needed for the rest of a patient’s life after LT. Immunosuppressive drugs can include cyclosporine, tacrolimus, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil; these can be problematic during pregnancy due to potential hypertensive and nephrotoxic effects.
