A case of acute fatty liver of pregnancy is presented. This case is characterized by many of the reported diagnostic features of AFLP, including the abrupt onset of symptoms with progressive liver failure, coagulopathy and encephalopathy, during the third trimester of pregnancy. Autopsy findings confirmed the diagnosis. The literature is reviewed, emphasizing the clinical and laboratory features helpful in the diagnosis of this entity. |
