Can familial liver disease be inherited to children?

Patient's question:

My mother-in-law has liver disease, and my husband as well as his several brothers also have liver disease. However, my father-in-law does not have liver disease. But my husband had an older brother who died of liver disease when he was in middle school. Now my husband has also passed away, due to liver cancer transformation. I gave birth in mid-October last year, and in November he was hospitalized with ascites. In March this year, he couldn't take it anymore and passed away.

Doctor's answer:

I heard about your situation and feel sympathy for you, but you still need to live and must be brave. As long as you take the following measures, the protection rate for your child can exceed 95%. After the child is born, you need to administer the anesthetic hepatitis B vaccine and immune globulin to the child as soon as possible. It is essential to give the child the anesthetic within 24 hours of birth. You should inform the doctor in advance so they can prepare the vaccine. The doctor asked: You shouldn’t worry too much. You must be close to giving birth now. Faced with liver disease interference, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical visits. If the liver disease is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to switch to a new treatment plan in a timely manner.
