Abstract

Viral hepatitis is a significant contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Physiological changes during pregnancy, including immunosuppression and increased liver stress, increase susceptibility to severe complications. This retrospective study analyzed 50 pregnant women diagnosed with viral hepatitis between 2018 and 2024, assessing the impact of different hepatitis types on maternal outcomes. Hepatitis B was the most common type, while Hepatitis E had the highest case-fatality rate. Major complications included liver dysfunction, coagulopathy, and maternal death. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate monitoring were identified as key risk factors for poor outcomes. Early detection, timely intervention, and multidisciplinary management are essential strategies to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality associated with viral hepatitis.
