Depends how you define "successfully". i.e if you mean "have only had two, and are healthy afterwards, requiring no further liver transplants", as opposed to "have had at least two" (which would include people who may have been quite healthy after the second, but eventually needed a third etc...)

For example, a person who has lupus nephritis (40% of lupus patients) and dies from kidney disease would be listed on the death certificate as dying of kidney failure. Lupus patients have double the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke, but if they die from that the death certificate will say heart attack or stroke, not lupus.
