Description
Mihiretu Goshu and Ephrem Kedir report a liver rupture case in pregnancy in this 2026 paper. A rare but deadly complication of a pregnancy disorder marked by blood breakdown, raised liver enzymes, and low platelets is a bleed under the liver capsule that can burst. Warning signs are vague, and low-resource hospitals have few tools to confirm it.
Their patient was a 35-year-old woman, seven months pregnant, with severe blood pressure disease and the syndrome. Sudden upper belly pain and instability followed. A bedside ultrasound showed blood in the belly and a burst liver hematoma. Emergency surgery confirmed the rupture and stopped the bleeding. The authors stress suspicion and fast surgery to save mothers.
