Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Research - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was conducted to study the epidemiology, magnitude and causes of jaundice in pregnancy and to assess the maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancies complicated by jaundice. 30 pregnant females diagnosed with Jaundice in the Department of Obstetrics& Gynaecology, Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur, were enrolled in the present study. All the patients were studied by clinical examination as well as diagnostic tests. The diagnostic tests included the Blood Tests such as Liver function test, Kidney function test, Coagulation Profile, Obstetrics Ultrasonography and Abdominal Sonography. Serological monitoring for the virus identifications were also done. By the present study we concluded that pregnancy complicated with jaundice had very poor maternal as well as foetal outcome. In this study most common predominant cause was pre-eclampsia, HELLP syndrome followed by viral hepatitis. Hence it is important that early diagnosis and management is necessary to overcome burden of disease and to reduce high maternal and maternal mortality in jaundiced pregnant women.
