摘  要:AIM:To evaluate the prognosis of patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy(AFLP)6 mo or longer after discharge.METHODS:The records of pregnant patients diagnosed with AFLP at Beijing Ditan Hospital over a 16-year period were reviewed in November 2012.Patients weremonitored using abdominal ultrasound,liver and kidney functions,and routine blood examination.RESULTS:A total of 42 patients were diagnosed with AFLP during the study period,and 25 were followed.The mean follow-up duration was 54.5 mo(range:6.5-181 mo).All patients were in good physical condition,but one patient had gestational diabetes.The renal and liver functions normalized in all patients after recovery,including in those with pre-existing liver or kidney failure.The ultrasound findings were normal in12 patients,an increasingly coarsened echo-pattern and increased echogenicity of the liver in 10 patients,and mild to moderate fatty liver infiltration in 3 patients.Cirrhosis or liver nodules were not observed in any patient.CONCLUSION:Acute liver failure and acute renal failure in AFLP patients is reversible.Patients do not require any specific long-term follow-up after recovery from AFLP if their liver function tests have normalized and they remain well.AIM:To evaluate the prognosis of patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy(AFLP)6 mo or longer after discharge.METHODS:The records of pregnant patients diagnosed with AFLP at Beijing Ditan Hospital over a 16-year period were reviewed in November 2012.Patients weremonitored using abdominal ultrasound,liver and kidney functions,and routine blood examination.RESULTS:A total of 42 patients were diagnosed with AFLP during the study period,and 25 were followed.The mean follow-up duration was 54.5 mo(range:6.5-181 mo).All patients were in good physical condition,but one patient had gestational diabetes.The renal and liver functions normalized in all patients after recovery,including in those with pre-existing liver or kidney failure.The ultrasound findings were normal in12 patients,an increasingly coarsened echo-pattern and increased echogenicity of the liver in 10 patients,and mild to moderate fatty liver infiltration in 3 patients.Cirrhosis or liver nodules were not observed in any patient.CONCLUSION:Acute liver failure and acute renal failure in AFLP patients is reversible.Patients do not require any specific long-term follow-up after recovery from AFLP if their liver function tests have normalized and they remain well.
