131 pregnancies of 54 women with Wilson disease studied in Istanbul: three quarters ended in live birth
A study published in a journal and reviewed by independent scientists. Even so, a single study is not conclusive; it needs to be replicated.
Istanbul Faculty of Medicine studied 54 women with Wilson disease. These women had a total of 131 pregnancies. 75% of the pregnancies ended in a live birth. 23% ended in miscarriage. The miscarriage rate was lower in women who were receiving treatment. Live births were less common in those with both liver and nervous system involvement.
What does it mean for patients and families?
Women with Wilson disease can have a pregnancy with close monitoring. The treatment and check-up plan during pregnancy must be made with a doctor. This is a retrospective study from a single center.
