Excerpt

Managing liver disease during pregnancy is quite challenging and requires a multispecialty approach. Physiological and anatomical changes during pregnancy, the complex interaction between the mother and the fetus, and the rarity of liver disease in pregnancy itself are some of the many challenges that a hepatologist faces while managing liver disease during pregnancy. Furthermore, potential implications on the fetus and the mother should be considered for various diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
