Results: Among total 1960 admissions, 78 (3.97%) patients presented with jaundice. Out of all admissions 27 (1.37%) were HBSAg, 8 (0.40%) HEV, 7 (0.35%) HCV, 6 (0.30%) of HBSAg and HEV co-infection, cholestasis with pregnancy 20 (1%) and 10 (0.51%) patients with pre-eclamptic liver disease with HELLP.

Conclusions: Jaundice in pregnancy may be lethal to mother and fetus. As the course of disease is also rapid and in short period it may affect the fetus in utero also, early detection and prompt management of these cases should be done.
