Jaundice in pregnancy often stems from viral hepatitis, a common cause in the US. Most cases, excluding hepatitis E, present similarly in pregnant and non-pregnant individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Jaundice during pregnancy can arise from pregnancy-specific conditions or unrelated diseases.
  • Viral hepatitis is the most frequent cause of jaundice in pregnant women in the United States.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the causes and clinical presentation of jaundice in pregnant women.
  • To differentiate between pregnancy-related and unrelated causes of jaundice.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on jaundice in pregnancy.
  • Analysis of etiological factors and clinical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Viral hepatitis is the predominant cause of jaundice in pregnant women in the US.

  • Clinical and histological features of viral hepatitis in pregnancy are generally consistent with those in non-pregnant individuals, with the exception of Hepatitis E virus infection.

    • Conclusions:

    • Viral hepatitis is a significant cause of jaundice in pregnancy.
    • Most cases of jaundice in pregnancy, barring Hepatitis E, do not show unique clinical or histological alterations due to the pregnant state.
