Is liver disease more common during pregnancy?

Pregnant women can experience spider angiomata and palmar erythema. About two thirds of white women and only 10% of black women experience these symptoms. In addition, women may have reduced serum albumin concentration, elevated serum alkaline phosphate activity, and elevated cholesterol levels. These are common symptoms of liver disease, but they are not evidence of liver disease if they occur during pregnancy.
