[Liver diseases complicating pregnancy].
Liver disease in pregnancy represents a broad spectrum of disorders. Most of the common forms of acute and chronic liver disease occur during pregnancy and often present special difficulties in diagnosis and management. In addition, there is a group of hepatic disorders unique to pregnancy, which also must be identified appropriately. Rapid institution of therapy is important in preventing the unfavorable perinatal outcome and maternal mortality. The changes in liver function related to gestation will be reviewed initially. The major forms of hepatic disease specifically associated to pregnancy will be then described and the obstetrical management as well as the therapeutic modalities proposed.
