The clinical manifestations of acute fatty liver of pregnancy include jaundice, coagulation disorders, and liver failure occurring in the late stages of pregnancy, along with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. Acute fatty liver of pregnancy usually results from excessive eating and insufficient physical activity during pregnancy, leading to excessive weight gain. Patients may take ammonium glycyrrhizinate tablets orally as directed by a physician.
