Acute fatty liver during pregnancy is prone to occur in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, which is relatively rare, but this disease poses a fatal risk to pregnant women. Acute fatty liver disease during pregnancy develops rapidly and changes rapidly. Starting from 28 weeks of pregnancy, expectant mothers should be alert to this disease. So what are the symptoms of acute fatty liver during pregnancy?
If a expectant mother experiences persistent nausea, vomiting, aversion to oil, physical weakness, including upper abdominal pain and headaches in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, followed by yellowing of the skin and sclera of the eyes in the following days, it indicates that the expectant mother has developed jaundice, which will continue to worsen. In addition to the above symptoms, some expectant mothers may also have high blood pressure, body swelling, and urinary protein problems.
After experiencing these symptoms, expectant mothers must promptly seek medical attention at the hospital. Acute fatty liver disease can continue to develop before giving birth, leading to skin bruising accompanied by gastrointestinal and gum bleeding, as well as low blood sugar, consciousness disorders in expectant mothers, and symptoms of kidney failure. This disease can lead to the death of pregnant women in a short period of time.
When diagnosed with acute fatty liver during pregnancy, regardless of whether the symptoms of the expectant mother are mild or severe, or whether the disease occurs sooner or later, the baby should be taken out and the pregnancy terminated as soon as possible, followed by active treatment.
