    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Pregnancy-associated liver diseases represent significant clinical challenges.
    • Recent advancements offer new perspectives on their pathogenesis and management.
    • Key conditions include recurrent cholestasis of pregnancy (RCP), viral hepatitis, and acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an integrated overview of recent fundamental progress in pregnancy-related liver diseases.
    • To assess current knowledge on RCP and AFLP, proposing novel genetic hypotheses for AFLP.
    • To suggest management strategies for newborns affected by maternal viral hepatitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Integrative literature review and synthesis of recent research findings.
    • Analysis of genetic factors potentially underlying AFLP.
    • Evaluation of maternal viral hepatitis and vertical transmission data.

    Main Results:

    • Current understanding of RCP and AFLP is updated.
    • A novel genetic hypothesis involving ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is proposed for AFLP, with potential therapeutic implications.
    • Tentative recommendations for newborn management in cases of maternal viral hepatitis are formulated.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant progress has been made in understanding liver diseases during pregnancy.
    • Genetic factors may play a crucial role in AFLP, warranting further investigation and exploration of therapeutic avenues.
    • Evidence-based recommendations for managing infants born to mothers with viral hepatitis are suggested.
