The most common ways women can develop Rh antibodies is from pregnancy (if the mother's blood type is Rh negative, the fetal blood is Rh positive and the mother did not receive Rhogam) or from a blood transfusion. You most likely received blood products when you had your liver transplant. Miscarriages are very common and usually due to genetic errors of the fetus. While I cannot say your liver transplant had nothing to do with it, my suspicion is that neither the Rh antibodies or the liver transplant was the culprit.
