Types of pregnancy complicated with hepatitis
Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of liver disease and jaundice in pregnant women. The incidence rate of viral hepatitis in pregnancy is 0.8% -17.8%, which can be divided into seven types: type A, type B, type C, type D, type E, type G and transfusion transmitted hepatitis.
Hepatitis A virus: It is transmitted through the fecal oral route, and the hepatitis A virus cannot pass through the placenta. Therefore, artificial abortion or induction of labor is not necessary during pregnancy. However, if the disease occurs in the late stage of pregnancy and the mother's blood is contaminated by feces during delivery, it can cause infection in the newborn.
Hepatitis B virus: Mother to child transmission is the main route of infection for hepatitis B.
Hepatitis C virus: The rate of mother to child transmission is 4% -10%. Mother to child transmission only occurs when a high concentration of the virus is detected in the mother's blood, and many newborns with intrauterine infections naturally turn negative within one year after birth.
Hepatitis D virus: It occurs on the basis of hepatitis B virus infection and is transmitted through the same route as hepatitis B virus, but mother to child transmission is less common.
Hepatitis E virus: Once a pregnant woman is infected, the condition is often critical, with a maternal mortality rate of 15% -25% in the late stages of pregnancy. Diagnosis is difficult during the acute phase of the disease, and there is also a certain degree of mother to child transmission.
Hepatitis G: Hepatitis caused by virus transmission through blood transfusion.
