What Are the Risks of Pregnancy with Liver or Kidney Disease?
Women with liver or kidney disease who become pregnant face higher risks of complications. Liver diseases can lead to intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, a condition characterized by severe itching and increased risks of preterm birth and fetal distress. Kidney disease increases the risk of gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia, conditions that can have serious consequences for both the mother and the fetus. Monitoring and managing these conditions closely with a healthcare team specializing in high-risk pregnancies is essential.
