Historical points• (AFLP) was first identified by Sheehan
in 1940
• The name AFLP has replaced earlier terminologies, “acute yellow atrophy of pregnancy”
and “acute obstetric fatty metamorphosis of liver”

Liver Function Tests
liver function tests” describes a panel of laboratory tests profiling discrete aspects of liver function
No single liver function test is available to
quantify liver disease

• aspartate aminotransferase (AST) • and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
evaluate Liver cell injury or necrosis
Liver Function Tests
•Marked ALT elevation (viral hepatitis)•Moderate ALT elevation (drug-induced hepatotoxicity, hyperemesis gravidarum, cholelithiasis, HELLP .AFLP.)

Liver Function Tests

Liver function tests
In normal pregnancies, alkaline phosphatase levels may be elevated three- to fourfold, secondary to placental alkaline phosphatase levels
evaluate Cholestasis and biliary obstruction

•A genetic component has been suggested
•Recent research suggests that AFLP is associated with a Glu474Gln mutation in the long-chain 3-hydroxy acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (LCHAD), a fatty acid β oxidation enzyme.

The patient may drink 2 or 3 liters of liquids overnight. it often exceeds the magnitude of vomiting. It has been interpreted as a transient diabetes insipidus.

• After hours or a few days, some patients become lethargic and may decline into hepatic coma, or milder degrees of mental impairment.
Lethargy and encephalopathy

After delivery, most patients improve slowly, and a full clinical and laboratory recovery may take from 1 to 4 weeks.
But marked deterioration after delivery has been observed

LABORATORY FEATURES
• Liver test abnormalities conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (usually between
5 and 15 mg/dL) increased alkaline phosphatase (normal <170) and modest increases in serum
aminotransferases normal <50 (usually<1000 IU/L)
Leukocytosis occurs commonly thrombocytopenia decreased clotting factors Hypoglycemia and renal dysfunction

Complications
cerebral edema, renal failure (60%),hypoglycemia (53%), infections (45%)gastrointestinal hemorrhage (33%), coagulopathy (30%), fetal death severe postpartum hemorrhage

The upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage may be caused by Mallory-Weiss syndrome, acute gastric or duodenal lesions (e.g., gastritis, duodenitis, peptic ulcers), or it can be a manifestation of a coagulopathy.

renal involvement is less severe than with toxemia
(a mild proteinuria ,mild edema and a mild increase in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine).
![Page 24: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When renal failure is aggravated, it usually is impossible to distinguish from toxemia.
![Page 25: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A severe hypoglycemia often appears at any stage of the disease, or even during clinical recovery.
![Page 26: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ascites, detected clinically or by ultrasound, is transient and rarely prominent.
![Page 27: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Maternal mortality (18%) usually is attributed to one of its complications (gastrointestinal hemorrhage, bleeding disorder, renal failure, acute pancreatitis) but not to liver failure alone.
![Page 28: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
It often is impossible to immediately perform a liver biopsy in pregnant patients with severe coagulation abnormalities.

has been considered limited and not helpful for the diagnosis and management of patients with AFLP.

the mild increase in blood pressure, hyperuricemia, and the intense thirst are
in fulminant hepatitis. and they favor the diagnosis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy.

All patients should be
hospitalized as soon as the diagnosis of AFLP is suspected
![Page 37: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Moderate or severely affected patients (encephalopathic, deeply jaundiced, with a prothrombin time less than 40% of the control), or with any extrahepatic complications, should
be attended in intensive care units.
![Page 38: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
it seems convenient to
maintain glucose infusions . Because of the risk of a sudden hypoglycemia until a full metabolic recovery is obtained.

• Two laboratory tests:
prothrombin time and blood glucose, should be repeated at
least daily, Prothrombin time helps to assess the prognosis of liver failure, and blood glucose detects a severe hypoglycemia.

AFLP should be suspected when persistent vomiting, malaise, encephalopathy or jaundice appear in the final weeks of pregnancy or in the early puerperium.
![Page 46: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Diagnosis is mainly based on clinical and laboratory grounds.
Liver biopsy is usually confirmatory,if done..
the emergency therapeutic decisions usually are made without waiting for a histologically proven diagnosis.
![Page 47: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
AFLP is a medical and obstetric emergency because of the metabolic alterations and complications and because of the impending need to interrupt pregnancy.
![Page 48: Acute Fatty Liver With Pregnancy Dr. Mohammed Abdalla Egypt, Domiat General Hospital](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e595503460f94b536ea/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
close surveillance of future pregnancies in patients affected previously by this disease is recommended.
