Abstract

The aim of this report is to make an awareness about hepatic infarction in those patients with progressively elevating liver enzymes and anti-phospholipid syndrome. A 29-year-old G2P2 woman who has undergone cesarian section (C-section) due to fetal distress was referred to our department with progressively elevating liver enzymes and lowering platelets. Computed tomography revealed a hepatic infarction with a dimension of 14x10 cm. Further, laboratory parameters defined an elevated Cardiolipin IgMantibody (11.59 U/ml). She had a diagnosis of HELLP and probable anti-phospholipid syndrome due tothese findings. She did well with the administered anticoagulant and steroid therapy.Pregnant women with progressively elevating liver enzymes should be evaluated for hepatic infarctionand underlying diseases such as anti-phospholipid syndrome

Özet

Anti-fosfolipid sendromu olan ve progresif olarak karaciğer enzimleri artan hastalarda karaciğer enfarktı olabileceği hakkında farkındalık yaratmayı amaçladık. Yirmidokuz yaşında G2P2 olan fetal distress nedeniyle sezaryen olmuş hasta obstetri kliniğimize progresif olarak artan karaciğer enzimleri ve düşük platelet sayısı nedeniyle yönlendirildi. Bilgisayarlı tomografide 14x10 cm boyutunda karaciğer enfarktı saptandı. Sonraki laboratuvar incelemelerinde yüksek Kardiolipin IgM antikoru (11.59 U/ml) saptandı. Bu sonuçlara göre HELLP sendromu ve muhtemel anti-fosfolipid sendromu tanıları kondu. Antikoagülan ve steroid tedavileri sonrasında hasta sorunsuz iyileşti. Progresif olarak artan karaciğer enzimleri olan gebe kadınlar karaciğer enfarktı ve altta yatan anti-fosfolipid sendromu gibi hastalıklar açısından değerlendirilmelidirler.
