Abstract

The recently published European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) clinical practice guideline (CPG) on the management of liver diseases in pregnancy encompasses the management of gestational liver diseases as well as acute and chronic liver disease occurring coincidentally in pregnancy. This review will address the latter, given the broad scope of the CPG and the comprehensive Frontline Gastroenterology curriculum review of gestational liver disease.
