Decompensation of Chronic Liver Disease during Pregnancy, a Case Report

2024Open accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Chronic hepatopathies are cosmopolitan disorders, the most common of which are chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a pathology of diverse etiologies characterized by diffuse disorganization of the normal hepatic structure due to hepatocyte destruction, with the appearance of regenerative nodules surrounded by fibrosis compressing the hepatic vascularization and causing portal hypertension. We report the case of a patient hospitalized in intensive care for decompensation of chronic hepathopathy during her 4th pregnancy, and we will describe the various consequences of pregnancy on this type of hepathopathy and vice versa via a detailed review of the literature.
