Abstract:
Liver failure during pregnancy is a serious liver injury caused by various pathogenic factors during pregnancy and is a critical disease that threatens the life of the mother and the fetus. The causes of liver failure during pregnancy are classified into viral factors, non-viral factors, pregnancy-specific factors, and unknown causes. This article describes the research advances in the incidence rates, deaths, and geographical distribution characteristics of liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies and compares the clinical features of liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies. It is pointed out that liver failure during pregnancy of different etiologies has entirely different treatment regimens and prognoses, and the etiological diagnosis has important guiding significance in the treatment of this disease. Further examination should be performed for critically ill pregnant women suspected of this disease to determine the etiology, and appropriate treatment should be given as early as possible.
