Background: To assess the effect of maternal liver disorder on foetal outcome. Materials &Methods: Fifty pregnant subjects, aged 25 to 45 years, presenting with varying months of pregnancy and liver disorders, were enrolled between Feb 2018 to Feb 2019. Comprehensive demographic and clinical data, including age, gravidity, parity, lab test, ultrasound findings and pertinent physical findings were collected for analysis. Foetal outcome was assessed in all the patients. The results were recorded in Microsoft excel and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: Neonatal mortality was seen in 2 percent of the subjects. Neonatal ICU admission was seen in 20 percent of the subjects. Fetal growth restriction & Low birth weight infant, Fetal distress, Preterm delivery, and Birth Asphyxia were seen in 32 percent, 26 percent, 36 percent, and 8 percent of the subjects respectively. More than one complication was noted in some cases. Conclusion: Pregnancies complicated by liver diseases are associated with severe foetal outcomes, regardless of whether the liver disorder is related to or independent of pregnancy. |
