Background: The spectrum of jaundice in pregnancy varies from a benign condition with good maternal and fetal outcome to a severe form resulting in liver failure and maternal and fetal mortality. Jaundice may complicate 3-5% of pregnancies. Present study was aimed to analyze the cause, course and impact of jaundice during pregnancy so as to have better understanding and hence better feto-maternal outcome. The present study aimed to analyze the various causes of hepatic dysfunction in pregnancy, maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancies complicated by jaundice and various hematological and liver function variables for predicting maternal and fetal outcome.Methods: The present study was an observational study conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Pt. JNM medical college and associated Dr. BRAM hospital, Raipur (CG) over period of 2 year from September 2018 to September 2020.Results: Total 0.72% pregnancies were complicated by jaundice. HELLP syndrome was the commonest cause of jaundice in pregnancy (36.7%), followed by viral hepatitis (32.7%). Hepatitis E was the most common type of viral hepatitis (91.8%). Hemolytic jaundice presented with best maternal outcome (maternal mortality rate 8.6%). Worst maternal outcome was seen in AFLP (maternal mortality rate 100%). Best fetal outcome was seen in viral hepatitis (live birth rate 67.6%), whereas worst noted with AFLP (fetal death rate 66.6%). Higher total serum bilirubin, higher serum AST, anemia and deranged INR had significant correlation with maternal mortality.Conclusions: HELLP syndrome and viral hepatitis are preventable causes of jaundice yet it contributed to significant proportion of maternal deaths in 26.5 and 18.5% cases respectively. AFLP is often under diagnosed and had a fulminant course in pregnancy causing maternal and fetal mortality.

A number of viral etiologies contribute to morbidity and mortality in pregnancy and the perinatal period. Here we discuss some of the major viral infections that occur in pregnancy. This review focuses on infections of cytomegalovirus (CMV), viral hepatitis, herpes simplex virus (HSV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV); other viral etiologies are discussed in part 2 of this topic. It is imperative to understand the risks, clinical course, diagnostic methodology, and management of these illnesses. This review contains 1 figure, 8 tables, and 67 references.

ABSTRACT Introduction Hepatitis in pregnancy is an important medical disorder seen more often in developing countries than in developed ones. Viral hepatitis is a major public health problem in India. Hepatitis in pregnancy is commonly associated with abortion, premature delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, coagulation defect, obstetric shock, coma, death and increased perinatal mortality and morbidity. This study was carried out to know the effect of viral hepatitis on pregnancy and to study its maternal and fetal outcome. Materials and methods This prospective clinical study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre and Lata Mangeshkar Hospital, Nagpur, from January 2010 to December 2012. All the antenatal cases attended Obstetrics and Gynecology Department were investigated for HBsAg and looked for any symptoms and signs suggesting hepatitis like fever, jaundice, nausea, vomiting. If present, they were admitted and further investigated to detect viral hepatitis. Patients were counseled for follow-up and strict hospital delivery. Patients with viral hepatitis were analyzed for the effect on pregnancy, maternal and fetal outcome. Results There were total 30 cases of viral hepatitis 24 (80%) cases were HBsAg positive, but all were asymptomatic 6 (20%) cases were hepatitis E positive. No HAV, HCV, HDV and hepatitis G infected cases were detected in our study. Maternal and fetal morbidity was significantly higher in hepatitis E infected women. Fetal mortality was observed in one case. Conclusion Pregnancy with viral hepatitis requires early diagnosis, hospitalization and treatment. In the present study hepatitis E was found to be the chief etiological agent associated with increased maternal morbidity, and high fetal morbidity and mortality.
