Abstract:: Problems of pregnancy in patients with liver disease are discussed. The effects of pregnancy on the disease course are generally limited to triggering of intensifiying icterus and pruritus; intrahepatic cholestasis may also occur. Increased incidences of miscarriage and prematurity have been reported in patients with liver cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis, cholestasis, and Dubin-Johnson syndrome, which is hereditary, and viral hepatitis in early pregnancy (increased incidence of chromosome abnormalities). Liver diseases constitute a relative indication for abortion, depending on the general state of the mother's health and her desire for the child. Problems of diagnosis and treatment are also considered.
