Severe jaundice in pregnancy poses significant risks to both mother and fetus, often leading to premature delivery and fetal death. Prompt diagnosis and collaborative management are crucial for improving outcomes in these rare, high-risk cases.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Perinatology

Context:

  • Severe jaundice during pregnancy is a rare but serious condition.
  • It significantly impacts maternal and fetal health outcomes.
  • Previous literature highlights diagnostic challenges and management complexities.

Purpose:

  • To present a case series of severe jaundice in pregnancy.
  • To analyze the maternal and fetal repercussions.
  • To discuss diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Summary:

  • Seven cases of severe jaundice in pregnancy were reviewed (3 viral hepatitis, 3 steatosis, 1 uncertain).
  • The study highlights rapid disease progression, leading to premature deliveries (5/7) and fetal deaths (4/8).
  • Maternal complications included hemorrhage, renal insufficiency, and encephalopathy; liver biopsy was often contraindicated, with liver scans showing potential utility.
