Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Pregnancy involves significant physiological and hormonal shifts impacting maternal organs.
  • Pre-existing hepatic disorders can be altered by pregnancy.
  • Pregnancy-specific liver conditions pose risks to both mother and fetus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review liver disorders during pregnancy.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely diagnosis and management.
  • To discuss the impact of these conditions on maternal and fetal outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of hepatic disorders in pregnancy.
  • Analysis of pregnancy-specific liver conditions and their effects.
  • Discussion of diagnostic challenges and treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy can exacerbate pre-existing liver conditions.
  • Specific pregnancy-related liver diseases include hyperemesis gravidarum, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, acute fatty liver of pregnancy, preeclampsia/eclampsia, HELLP syndrome, and hepatic rupture.
  • These conditions significantly influence maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate and prompt diagnosis of liver disorders in pregnancy is essential.
  • Effective management strategies are critical for optimizing maternal and fetal health.
  • Understanding these conditions improves clinical outcomes for pregnant individuals and their infants.
