Can liver transplant patients have children

summary

After liver transplantation, the recovery ability is relatively different according to the different physical conditions of each person, but there is a question that we are concerned about, whether the children can still be born normally after the operation, you will introduce to us whether the liver transplant patients can have children.

Can liver transplant patients have children

First, an important part of the recovery of quality of life after liver transplantation is to be a parent like a normal person. Many women undergoing liver transplantation are at the reproductive age, so whether they can have normal fertility has become an inevitable topic. Medical observation found that the children born to female transplant recipients may mature earlier than the children born to male transplant recipients, or the weight of the embryo is smaller than that of the same period of pregnancy, but this does not affect the health of the children.

Second: after the function of the transplanted liver has returned to normal, the effect of drugs on pregnancy has become the most worrying problem. Studies have shown that the incidence of teratogenesis after using standard immunosuppressants is limited. In the offspring of female transplant patients who use cyclosporine (CSA), the incidence of teratogenesis is no different from that of normal population.

Third: successful pregnancy has become an indicator to evaluate the success of organ transplantation, but it should be pointed out that the pregnancy of female liver transplant patients is still high-risk, which requires a coordinated team to closely monitor their personal health. Both the mother and the fetus should be monitored for the presence of megalovirus infection, which can only be tolerated by female liver transplant patients in a stable state of liver and kidney function Pregnancy.

matters needing attention

In a period of time after liver transplantation is in an unstable state, so in order to avoid the risk of accidents, we should actively adopt the doctor's advice, after a period of time to continue the examination.
