Factors and a model to predict three-month mortality in patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy from two medical centers. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication. Lacking of prognostic factors and models renders prediction of outcomes difficult. This study aims to explore factors and develop a prognostic model to predict three-month

The assessment in patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) treated with plasma exchange: a cohort study of 298 patients. To assess the prevalence, risk factors, clinical characteristics of Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) patients, and outcomes of AFLP patients treated with plasma exchange (PE). We retrospectively reviewed the AFLP patients admitted to the First Affiliated

[Clinical analysis of 86 cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy]. To investigate the clinical characteristics and maternal and fetal prognosis of pregnant women with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP). The clinical data of 86 AFLP pregnant women admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from September 2017 to August 2022 were collected, and their general

Survival of a case of pre-eclampsia complicated with acute fatty liver of pregnancy and acute pancreatitis. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) and acute pancreatitis are peculiar complications of pregnancy. When acute pancreatitis occurs co-incidentally with acute fatty liver of pregnancy, mortality is high. Here, we report a case of a 22-year-old lady in her 36th week of gestation, who presented with pre-eclampsia, acute fatty liver of pregnancy and acute pancreatitis. She fulfilled six Swansea criteria for diagnosis of AFLP, and the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was based on clinical suspicion, elevated pancreatic enzymes and the sonographic appearance of a swollen pancreatic head.

[Clinical analysis of 34 cases of acute fatty liver of pregnancy]. To analyze the characteristics, diagnosis and prognosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP), and to guide the management of AFLP patients. The clinical data of 34 AFLP patients admitted to Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2009 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed

Risk of recurrent acute fatty liver of pregnancy: survey from a social media group. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare but serious complication in the last trimester of pregnancy or postpartum period. Data on the recurrence risk are largely unavailable, as only case reports or very small case series exist in which only 1 woman had recurrent acute fatty liver of pregnancy. We aimed to estimate the risk of acute fatty liver of pregnancy recurrence and to compare disease severity and gestational age between primary and recurrent disease using patient-provided data from an acute fatty liver of pregnancy social media patient group. We developed and distributed an electronic questionnaire through an international Facebook group called "Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy." The data collection

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy cases in a maternal and child health hospital of China: Three case reports. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is extremely hazardous to pregnant woman in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. AFLP has an insidious onset and nonspecific experimental indicators, which therefore is difficult to be diagnosed. Case 1 was transferred to our hospital for hypertensive

Potential predictors for prognosis and postpartum recovery time of acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a potentially lethal condition of pregnant women with a high mortality rate. Potential predictors related to postpartum recovery time and prognostic factors of AFLP are still unclear. This study aimed to evaluate potential predictors for prognosis

Pregnancy outcomes of patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a case control study. Limited data exists regarding the pregnancy and infant outcomes of Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy (AFLP). Retrospectively collected mothers with AFLP and mothers without AFLP in our center from 1/2008 to 6/2018. The primary assessment was to analyze and compare the frequency of negative maternal and fetal

Early diagnostic test for acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a retrospective case control study. Early diagnosis is important to lower the mortality rate of acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP). The Swansea criteria is commonly used to diagnose AFLP, but some terms could only be reached when symptoms and signs have progressed, or are not efficient in clinical practice. Therefore, it is necessary to select cost effective tests to simplify and facilitate early suspicion of acute fatty liver of pregnancy. This is a retrospective study of 28,800 medical records at the Second Xiangya Hospital from 2009 to 2015, including 41 patients with AFLP and 172 other diseases that could show similar symptoms to AFLP. The evaluated variables included past history of liver diseases, blood pressure

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a case report. Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy (AFLP) is a rare, catastrophic disease affecting women in the third trimester of pregnancy or in the post-partum period. It is usually a diagnosis of exclusion and requires a strong index of suspicion for a timely diagnosis and prompt intervention. We report a case of AM, an 18 year patient, in her first pregnancy at 35 weeks gestation who presented with nausea, vomiting and jaundice. She had a vaginal delivery following spontaneous preterm labour. A clinical diagnosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy was made on the 3rd day post-delivery. The post-delivery course was complicated by a deterioration of clinical symptoms with worsening hepatorenal function and development of encephalopathy. The patient died 3

Outcomes and risk factors of patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a multicentre retrospective study Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) frequently causes liver failure in pregnant women. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, management, outcomes and risk factors of AFLP is required, given its relatively high mortality rate. We aimed to describe the characteristics

Postpartum acute fatty liver of pregnancy: a case report Acute fatty liver of pregnancy can be a very dramatic clinical event with significant risk of mortality to healthy women. The pathogenesis is still unknown. It usually occurs in the third trimester or in the immediate postpartum period. The clinical presentation is very variable. Medical staff have to be very cautious even regarding a minor complaint of feeling unwell. Skin rash has not been reported as one of the initial presentations of acute fatty liver of pregnancy. It is best treated in a center with a multidisciplinary approach. Admission to the intensive care unit is recommended. We report a case of a 20-year-old Middle Eastern Arabic woman who developed an acute fatty liver of pregnancy. She was not known to have any

Acute fatty liver of pregnancy simulating liver tumor Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a rare liver disease unique to pregnancy that can lead to acute liver failure. Clinicians must have a high index of suspicion for AFLP because only early diagnosis and prompt delivery improve maternal and fetal prognosis.

Presumed acute fatty liver of pregnancy following influenza A hepatitis Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare mitochondrial hepatopathy characterised by microvesicular fatty infiltration, and is believed to be due to impaired fatty acid oxidation. Hepatitis following influenza virus infection is uncommon. Rarely influenza virus infection may be complicated by Reye's syndrome, another hepatic microvesicular fat disease. A case of influenza A hepatitis in third trimester of pregnancy, followed by the evelopment of presumed acute fatty liver of pregnancy is described in this report and a potential mechanism why this may have occurred is discussed.
