Abstract

Wilson`s disease associated with pregnancy is not common and the underlying mechanism triggering the event is not known at present. There are few reports of successful pregnancies in women with untreated Wilson`s disease. Recently we experienced a 28-year-old pregnant woman with Wilson`s disease who had liver cirrhosis with hemolytic anemia. The patient had a successful pregnancy outcome with no complication.
