O98.4: Viral hepatitis complicating pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium
You have a viral hepatitis.
In a case of viral hepatitis, the liver is inflamed by viruses. The liver is an important organ on the top right of the abdomen. For example, it helps with blood clotting and detoxifying the body. Nutrients from food are processed in the liver. If the liver is inflamed, this can cause various symptoms. The skin and eyes may turn yellow. The stool may be colorless and urine may be very dark. You may also feel nauseous. You can get a fever and have muscle pain. You may also feel feeble and tired. You may be seriously ill. You may also have no symptoms at all.
Your illness is making the pregnancy, the birth or the weeks after the birth more difficult. You may also already have had this kind of disease before your pregnancy. Your illness may then also have got worse due to the pregnancy, the birth or the weeks after the birth.
