We reported 6 cases of severe liver injury in the perinatal period. In four of six patients, the liver injury occurred in the latter half of the pregnancy. The serum aminotransferases were moderately elevated, and after the delivery, a rapid recovery was observed. They were diagnosed with acute fatty liver of pregnancy. The other two cases who had liver injury just after delivery had diagnosed with acute hepatitis. Five patients had hepatic encephalopathy but all survived. Our experience suggests that with proper treatment these patients have a good chance of survival.
