| Core Tip |
Acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) occurs more frequently than AKI related to preeclampsia or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets syndrome; however, it is generally non-oliguric and of relatively low severity. In some cases, kidney function may not fully recover after delivery and could require dialysis. Rarely, AFLP can manifest in the postpartum period, which presents a diagnostic challenge due to lack of prodromal symptoms and occurrence of severe AKI. AKI is key characteristic of AFLP and is included in both its diagnostic and prognostic criteria. Therapeutic plasma exchange may be considered in patients with persistent hepatic or renal dysfunction following delivery. Given that rapid recognition and prompt delivery are crucial for managing AFLP, there is a need for biomarkers, similar to the soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1/placental growth factor ratio used in preeclampsia, that can facilitate earlier diagnosis and treatment. |
