Abstract
Background. Liver diseases associated with pregnancy are recorded in 0.7–3% of pregnant women, often accompanied by the development of hepatic dysfunction/insufficiency, and are the cause of increased morbidity and mortality in both mother and child. A pathomorphological study helps to understand the pathophysiology of severe liver damage in preeclampsia, and to optimize the management of such patients. Aims — to study the clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of liver tissue lesions in the most severe forms of preeclampsia and eclampsia, which ended in death. Methods. Autopsy material analysis of 10 patients who died from preeclampsia, eclampsia and their complications (main group) and 3 patients who died from other causes (comparison group). Pathomorphological and immunohistochemical studies of organs and tissues (in particular, liver tissue) were performed using a marker of neurons and neuroendocrine cells γ-NSE and a marker of endotheliocytes CD-34. Results. An immunohistochemical study with a CD-34 endotheliocyte marker in the main group revealed a vascularization deficiency in the 2nd and 3rd zone of hepatic acini, there were also foci of necrosis. Such changes indicate deep and prolonged hypoperfusion. The use of the NSE marker in the group of patients who died from preeclampsia/eclampsia revealed a sharp increase in Kupffer cells in the first and second zones of acini with pronounced immunoexpression of NSE in the nuclei and cytoplasm of these cells, which indicates severe hepatic dysfunction (in particular, impaired detoxification and elimination functions of the liver). At the same time, only 3 out of 10 women in the main group are clinically registered with HELLP syndrome, while the rest had signs of multiple organ (including acute liver) failure. Conclusions. The clinical symptoms of liver damage, including those with severe preeclampsia, arise, as a rule, already against the background of severe morphological changes in its tissue and, as a rule, indicate functional decompensation. Liver immunology remains little studied, which requires further research on this problem.
