title: [The treatment of acute fatty liver of pregnancy using plasma exchange].
abstract: A 33-year-old gravida 6, para 5, developed acute fatty liver of pregnancy at 35 weeks' gestation. This clinical picture was seen after caesarean section and delivery of a healthy infant. Post partum hepatic dystrophy associated with coma hepatica, acute renal failure and disseminated, intravascular coagulation was successfully treated with three large-volume plasmaphereses using FFP exchange plasma in combination with haemodialysis. The patient survived and her liver function was restored to normal.
