pregnancy, jaundice, differential diagnosisAbstract
SUMMARY. A modern view of jaundice in pregnant women and their differential diagnosis is presented. In some cases, jaundice can be induced by pregnancy (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnant women, excessive vomiting of pregnant women, preeclampsia, eclampsia, HELLP-syndrome, acute fatty liver disease), in others – it manifests itself independently of it (infectious and toxic hepatitis, acute cholestasis due to gallstones’ disease or neoplasms, Budd-Chiari syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, liver cirrhosis, hemolytic jaundice of various genesis, etc.).
Adequate diagnosis enables timely ethiotropic, symptomatic or pathogenetic therapy, or premature delivery to prevent complications, to reduce risks for mother and child.
