Five conditions that can lead to pregnancy-related deaths were considered in the analyses of severe maternal morbidity: acute fatty liver of pregnancy (a buildup of fat in the liver), amniotic fluid embolism (the presence of amniotic fluid, fetal cells or other debris in the woman's circulatory system), pulmonary embolism, eclampsia (characterized by convulsions during pregnancy or the first 10 days after delivery, followed by specified clinical events) or hysterectomy at the time of delivery. Finally, the doctors diagnosed a rare condition called Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy (AFLP). The study's findings could also lead to a better understanding of potential links between fetuses that do not properly oxidize fatty acids and mothers with pre-eclampsia, acute fatty liver of pregnancy (a life-threatening complication that often appears in the third trimester), and the HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver function and low platelets). |
