dc.description.abstract | Background: We present a case of primary biliary cholangitis diagnosed during pregnancy. Diagnosis of this entity in pregnancy is infrequent, and when everything seemed to point to a simple obstetric cholestasis, close attention to the details of the clinical history was required to raise suspicion of the true diagnosis. Case presentation: We present a 37-year-old Portuguese Caucasian patient who complained of generalized pruritus and showed alteration in hepatic function tests with a cholestatic pattern. The first diagnostic hypothesis was intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and she began treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid, which resulted in slight improvement of cholestasis. Her pregnancy was also complicated with occlusive hemorrhagic placenta, and at 30 weeks she underwent emergency cesarean section due to heavy blood loss. However, careful observation of clinical and laboratory findings, postpartum evolution, and a multidisciplinary approach to the patient led to the probable diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis. Conclusions: Physiological changes during pregnancy can mimic chronic liver disease that can only be revealed at this stage, having an impact not only on the pregnancy but on the entire future of the woman. | pt |
