title: [Acute fatty liver of pregnancy--differential diagnosis and supportive therapy].
abstract: A case of clinically diagnosed acute fatty liver of pregnancy (AFLP) is reported. Hypoglycemia and coagulopathy were predominant in the clinical course. Serial studies on blood chemistry, especially blood glucose and coagulation parameters, in association with virus serology and ultrasound, can rule out common causes of jaundice in pregnancy. This contributes to reliability of the clinical diagnosis of AFLP in the absence of liver biopsy, and ensures adequate management of the patient.
