[Acute liver failure and pregnancy. A case report].
Acute liver failure occurred in a 33 WA pregnant 4th parity woman. Transfer to intensive care was required and liver transplantation was discussed. Search for the causal mechanism revealed viral hepatitis A. On the basis of this observation, the different hypotheses concerning this clinical situation are presented in addition to different aspects of an association with viral hepatitis (particularly hepatitis A).
