Successful pregnancy in a liver transplant patient of Budd-Chiari syndrome.

In recent years, the number of patients undergoing liver transplant has increased. Successful transplant has resulted in better quality of life and improved fertility in younger women. This is a case study a 31-year-old woman, who had history of Budd-Chiari syndrome and underwent liver transplantation in 2014 with uneventful postoperative course. She was clinically stable on tablet tacrolimus and coumarin with no episode of allograft rejection since transplantation. The patient conceived spontaneously, after 4 years of transplant and during pregnancy, she was managed by multidisciplinary team. During the initial period, the graft and pregnancy continued without complications. However, at 33 weeks, the patient presented with sluggish fetal movements, amniotic fluid index of 3.4 and SD ratio of 3.31 for which she underwent caesarean section. She delivered a healthy female baby of 1.4 kg. This case study concludes that vigilant monitoring of fetal growth is pivotal for optimal fetal outcome.
