A Fatal Case of Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy with Mods
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 7
Abstract
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy(AFLP) is a potentially fatal liver disorder of pregnancy, whose clinical diagnosis is difficult. We present a 28year old primigravida at 34weeks with singleton pregnancy who was referred with altered liver function tests(LFT) and renal failure. Based on clinical features and investigations we diagnosed the case as AFLP. She had multi organ dysfunction(MODS) and despite of rigorous ICU management, she was deteriorating. She responded to induction of labour and a dead fetus was delivered vaginally; but she ultimately succumbed to her condition after 13 days.
