✨ NEW PUB Passion Project✨
After liver transplant, we track labs 🧪, imaging 📊, biopsies...But we rarely ask one basic question:

🩸No menses within 1 year of LT → significantly higher graft liver disease.
🧩 A zero-cost, patient-centered signal hiding in plain sight
♀️ Reproductive health = Transplant health
