“…There is often the presence of an additional pro-coagulant factor and hence a full pro-coagulant search is imperative even in the context of pregnancy [170,172]. Historically, reports of BCS presenting in pregnancy were associated with poor outcomes for the fetus and mother with death from hepatic failure or portal hypertension being common [169,[173][174][175][176]. The treatment for BCS has evolved over several decades and 5-year survival rates have improved from 50% to 90%, which is mirrored in the survival of pregnant women with BCS [171,172].…”

Pregnancy associated liver diseases affect up to 3% of pregnant women and are the most frequent cause of liver dysfunction in pregnancy. When severe, they are associated with significant morbidity and mortality for both mother and infant. A rapid evaluation to distinguish them from non-pregnancy related liver dysfunction is essential, in order to facilitate appropriate management. Liver disease unrelated to pregnancy can present de novo in pregnancy, or pregnancy can occur in women with preexisting liver pathology (Table 1). Research and subsequent advances in medical care have resulted in improved but still not satisfactory maternal and fetal outcomes. In this review we provide an overview of the liver diseases specific to the pregnant state and an update on their pathogenesis, treatment and outcomes. The risks of pregnancy in women with pre-existent liver pathology is detailed and recent advances in our understanding of specific risks and outcomes are discussed.

Acute liver disease presenting as jaundice is a common event occurring in pregnancy occurring in about 1 per 1000 deliveries. The most common cause of jaundice in pregnancy is viral hepatitis. In the developed world viral hepatitis causes about 2/3 s of cases of jaundice in several series. [1] The great majority of viral hepatitidies are of slow onset and course. They are rarely associated with fulminant liver failure. This is an article about fulminant liver failure in pregnancy. This is extremely rare in Western medicine and there are few references, this is an attempt to develop guidelines to guide diagnosis and treatment.
