Case report highlights management of autoimmune hepatitis in pregnancy, suggesting better maternal outcomes.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a long-lasting liver ailment. It causes hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation, leading to fibrosis. It can develop into cirrhosis and liver failure. The disease predominantly affects young to middle-aged women more than men. AIH flares up during gestation and is linked with a high rate of embryonic and maternal problems. With maternal and antenatal care becoming advanced, this disorder should be identified and managed for successful maternal and embryonic outcomes. We present a case report of a primigravida diagnosed with AIH at 14 weeks antenatally. Our main aim in reporting this case is to create general awareness for healthcare professionals and thereby for patients and caregivers about this condition in pregnancy.
