Consultation for liver disease during pregnancy is challenging for both the hepatologist and gynecologist, as normal physiologic changes during pregnancy can mimic chronic liver disease. Pregnancy-specific liver disorders are leading causes of abnormal liver function tests during pregnancy. Moreover, up to 3% of all pregnant women in developed countries experience liver diseases nonspecific to pregnancy. When severe, pregnancy-specific liver disorders are associated with significant morbidity and mortality for both the mother and the fetus. The main factors that determine maternal prognosis are the type of liver disease; degree of impaired synthetic, metabolic, and excretory liver function; and timing of delivery. This article focuses on a systematic approach to diagnosing and managing pregnancy-specific liver disorders, which includes understanding normal findings in pregnancy, excluding liver diseases nonspecific to pregnancy, factoring in trimester status, and using clinical clues to make a diagnosis and provide treatment in a timely fashion.
孕期肝病的会诊对肝病专家和妇科医生来说都具有挑战性,因为孕期正常的生理变化可能会与慢性肝病相似。孕期特有的肝脏疾病是孕期肝功能检查异常的主要原因。此外,在发达国家,高达3%的孕妇会患上非孕期特有的肝病。严重时,孕期特有的肝脏疾病会给母亲和胎儿带来显著的发病率和死亡率。决定母亲预后的主要因素包括肝病的类型、肝脏合成、代谢和排泄功能受损的程度以及分娩时间。本文重点介绍一种诊断和管理孕期特有的肝脏疾病的系统方法,包括了解孕期的正常表现、排除非孕期特有的肝病、考虑孕期阶段情况以及利用临床线索及时进行诊断和治疗。
