title: [Acute fatty liver in pregnancy. Report of 2 cases].
abstract: We present the case histories of two patients showing the clinical and biochemical manifestations of acute fatty liver of pregnancy associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation. Both patients were young primiparae. One was admitted in the 39th week of pregnancy, the other immediately after spontaneous delivery at the 36th week. Both patients recovered. Laboratory investigations, treatment and differential diagnosis are discussed.
