MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HEPATIC DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 IN PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

This article examines the morphological characteristics of hepatic damage associated with COVID-19 in pregnant women. The study focuses on pathological changes observed in liver tissues during SARS-CoV-2 infection and analyzes the impact of these alterations on maternal health during pregnancy. Special attention is given to inflammatory processes, vascular disorders, hepatocellular degeneration, and microthrombotic complications identified in pregnant patients affected by COVID-19. The research highlights the role of immune and hormonal changes during pregnancy in aggravating liver injury and contributing to disease severity. Histopathological findings demonstrate that COVID-19-related hepatic damage in pregnant women may lead to significant clinical complications requiring timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary management. The results of the study contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of liver involvement in COVID-19 and may support the development of effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for pregnant patients.
