A woman with acute fatty liver of pregnancy developed fulminant hepatic failure after delivery, a time when spontaneous recovery was expected. Pancreatitis and multiple organ failure was documented and intensive treatment in a critical care unit was needed to support organ function. She underwent plasmapheresis due to extreme hyperbilirubinemia and coma. She recovered completely.
