Pregnancy in WD

Wilson disease itself is not a reason for avoiding pregnancy. It is very important that treatment is continued throughout the pregnancy, because of the risk of deterioration of liver or neurological disease if it is stopped. Your physician will guide you about choice of medicines and doses, and about monitoring your treatment throughout pregnancy. However, before embarking on a pregnancy, women with Wilson disease need to have a detailed discussion with their physician about all aspects of their health. For example, severe liver disease may pose significant problems.
