I have Primary Biliary Cirrhosis , an autoimmune liver disease . I have had one successful pregnancy but now my liver after having my daughter, my liver has enlarged, specifically portal vein and left lobe. We are thinking of trying for a second baby and I know the risks in pregnancy with having PBC, but what are the risks with having an enlarged liver in pregnancy? I had an endoscopy in January and the results were clear for oesophagus varices. Thank you
Hello.  Thanks for writing to us. Since there is considerable increase in work load on the liver during pregnancy, in the presence of biliary cirrhosis, pregnancy might aggravate the hemostasis. You will need a regular monitoring of the liver enzymes and hepatioprotective Chat Doctor. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
