Pregnancy in Patients with Non-cirrhotic Portal Hypertension: A Literature Review
Gravidez em pacientes com hipertensão portal não cirrótica: Uma revisão da literatura
Abstract
Pregnancy in non-cirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) is an uncommon condition. Its management is challenging both to the obstetricians as well as to the gastroenterologists due to the lack of more extensive studies and standard clinical practice guidelines. These patients are at increased risk of portal hypertension (PTH) complications, especially variceal bleeding, and with an increased incidence of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Hence, a multidisciplinary approach is required for management of pregnancy in NCPH. This short review describes the different aspects of pregnancy with NCPH, emphasizing specific strategies for preventing and managing PTH from the preconceptional period to postpartum.
Resumo
A gravidez na hipertensão portal não cirrótica (HPNC) é uma condição incomum. Seu manejo é desafiador tanto para os obstetras quanto para os gastroenterologistas devido à falta de estudos mais extensos e diretrizes de prática clínica padrão. Esses pacientes apresentam risco aumentado de complicações da hipertensão portal (PTH) especialmente sangramento por varizes e têm maior incidência de desfechos maternos e fetais adversos. Portanto uma abordagem multidisciplinar é necessária para o manejo da gravidez na NCPH. Esta breve revisão descreve os diferentes aspectos da gravidez com HPNC enfatizando estratégias específicas para prevenção e manejo do PTH desde o período pré-concepcional até o pós-parto.
