Abstract Background Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is a life-threatening disorder, and its relevance to viral hepatitis B (HB) remains unknown. This case presents an initial experience of treating a patient with HB progressing to AFLP throughout pregnancy; anesthesiologists should also recognize its clinical feature for perioperative management. Case presentation A 28-year-old parturient was diagnosed as chronic HB (CHB) at 21 weeks gestation. Liver and kidney dysfunction appeared rapidly at 34 weeks gestation, suspected as acute exacerbation of either CHB or AFLP. Emergency cesarean section was carried out, after which maternal disseminated intravascular coagulation and hypothermia persisted. With multidisciplinary management, the patient and infant were discharged on postpartum days 64 and 12, respectively. Conclusions Active CHB develops into AFLP. Antiviral therapy should be considered for parturient patients with CHB, particularly for those with high viral load. The most favorable outcome is prompt and accurate diagnosis to establish suitable termination method. |
