Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a rare disease of impaired bile acid excretion which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Vitamin deficiencies during pregnancy can result in adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. A 20-year-old primiparous woman at 30 4/7 weeks with PFIC type 2 presented with worsening cholestasis, coagulopathy and fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. She developed visual deficits and was found to have severe vitamin A deficiency. Her coagulopathy and visual deficits improved following vitamin K and A supplementation, respectively. She delivered at 32 2/7 weeks following preterm labour. This case highlights several unique aspects in the care of pregnant women with liver disease. These patients are at risk for fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies which can result in significant coagulopathy and rarely, visual deficits due to vitamin A deficiency. Prompt treatment is necessary to prevent permanent sequelae.
进行性家族性肝内胆汁淤积症(PFIC)是一种罕见的胆汁酸排泄受损疾病,可导致营养缺乏。孕期维生素缺乏可导致不良的母婴结局。一名20岁初产妇,孕30 4/7周,患有2型PFIC,出现胆汁淤积加重、凝血障碍和脂溶性维生素缺乏。她出现了视力缺陷,被发现严重缺乏维生素A。补充维生素K和A后,她的凝血障碍和视力缺陷分别得到改善。她在早产32 2/7周时分娩。该病例突出了肝病孕妇护理中的几个独特方面。这些患者有脂溶性维生素缺乏的风险,这可能导致严重的凝血障碍,罕见的情况下,会因维生素A缺乏导致视力缺陷。及时治疗对于预防永久性后遗症很有必要。
