Patient's question:
I am 7 months pregnant. Since last week, I have been experiencing vomiting, weakness in my limbs, and a bloated, painful upper abdomen. I also have swelling. I thought it might be affecting the fetus, so I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have acute fatty liver during pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, general treatment involves bed rest, providing a low-fat, low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet to ensure sufficient calories, and intravenous glucose to correct hypoglycemia. Pay attention to maintaining electrolyte balance and correcting acidosis.2. Blood exchange or plasma exchange: In foreign countries, blood exchange uses three times the blood volume. Plasma exchange therapy can clear irritant factors from the blood, replenish deficient clotting factors, reduce platelet aggregation, and promote vascular endothelial repair. This treatment method is widely used abroad and has achieved good results.
