복수를 동반한 간경변증 2예에서의 분만 3회 = Pregnancy in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites Report of Three Episodes in two Patients

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Pregnancy is rarely encountered in women with cirrhosis since cirrhosis is less common in women and usually developes after the childbearing years. Additionally, cirrhosis in young women is often accompanied by severe menstrual irregularities and infertility with disturbance of estrogen metabo- lism. The managernent of the liver disease in pregnant patients is the sarne as that of normal people. Studies have shown that while pregnancy may result in a normal healthy infant, the risk of variceal hemorrhage is high, especially in the second and third trimesters. Cirrhosis seems to have an adverse effect on fetal outcome with a high incidence of stillbirths and prematurity in pregnant women. We report our experience of three episodes of pregnancy in two cases of liver cirrhosis and ascites with brief review of literatures.
