Management of Liver Diseases in Pregnancy

Abstract

Pregnancy presents unique physiological changes that can significantly influence the course and management of liver diseases in pregnancy. The intersection of hepatology and obstetrics requires evidence based, multidisciplinary approaches to ensure the health and safety of both mother and fetus. Recognizing the increasing need for clarity and standardization in this area, this guideline on liver diseases in pregnancy has been developed to support health care professionals to deliver informed, compassionate and effective care.
This document brings together current evidence, expert consensus and clinical experience to address common and rare liver conditions encountered during pregnancy including preexisting liver diseases, pregnancy specific hepatic disorders, and management of acute liver failure. Special attention has been given to diagnostic challenges, safe pharmacological interventions and multidisciplinary care strategies I am grateful to team SOGP and HEPNET for their joint effort to come up with this comprehensive document
