Fulminant means occurring suddenly, rapidly, and with great severity or intensity :O
Fulminant hepatic failure is generally used to describe the development of encephalopathy within 8 weeks of the onset of symptoms in a patient with a previously healthy liver..
It occurs in pregnancy.. mostly due to a viral cause..
The prevalent viral cause of ALF [acute liver failure] in pregnancy is Hepatitis E..
In fact, liver failure is the most common feature in Indian women during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy
The immunity is altered during pregnancy and the hormonal status is also different..
So, the diminished immunity and high level of steroid hormones influence viral replication and expression during pregnancy
That's all for today!
Take care ^_^
And drink boiled water!
