Immunology of hepatic diseases during pregnancy

Abstract: The mother's immune system has to adapt to pregnancy accepting the semi-allograft fetus and preventing harmful effects to the developing child. Aberrations in feto-maternal immune adaptation may result in disease of the mother, such as liver injury. Five pregnancy-associated liver disorders have been described so far, however, little is known concerning immune alterations promoting the respective disease. These liver disorders are pre-eclampsia, hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count (HELLP), ac… Show more

“…Liver disease in PE have a high risk of pregnancy disorder, although no reports of maternal death but the birth of premature infants [28]. Liver disorders in PE dieaseas may increase liver enzymes, autoimmune, hyperemesis gravidarum, acute fatty liver, and intrahepatic cholestasis [29]. This is in accordance with Emita’s study [30].…”

“…ICP is defined as impairment of intrahepatic bile flow, resulting in retention in the liver and overflow into the blood. 20 ICP is the most common liver disease unique to pregnancy, yet shows geographic variation, being rare in North America and Southern Europe (1-2/1000 pregnancies), and common in South America and Scandinavia, where the prevalence is up to 10-fold higher. 1,3 Several adverse outcomes are associated with ICP, including preterm delivery, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, and fetal demise.…”

“…For example, in PBC an enhanced X monosomy rate within PBMC, possibly T and B cells, compared to healthy women was found, while XCI was random and similar to the controls ( 131 133 ). Both PBC and AIH have their age peak of manifestation around menopause, and both show disease modulation by pregnancy with greatly reduced AIH activity during pregnancy and frequent flares after delivery, strongly suggesting the involvement of sex hormones ( 134 137 ). Deciphering these mechanisms may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for many of these diseases.…”
