KembaraXtra - Medical Terms - acute fatty liver of pregnancy Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication that occurs during pregnancy, most commonly in the third trimester. It is characterized by the accumulation of fat within liver cells, which interferes with normal liver function.
Symptoms often include nausea, vomiting, general malaise, and abdominal pain. Laboratory tests typically reveal abnormal liver function, and the condition may occur together with complications such as pre-eclampsia or HELLP syndrome. Serious complications including hepatic encephalopathy, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and kidney failure may develop. Management requires urgent medical care and often involves a multidisciplinary team working in an intensive care setting.
