  ABSTRACT: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a rare but serious disorder affecting pregnancy. The rarity of this situation along with nonspecific symptoms makes it difficult to diagnose and thus causes catastrophic events. Biochemical parameters are required to diagnose this condition and differentiate it from other life threatening causes of pregnancy like HELLP syndrome and Preeclampsia. To avoid complications it is imperative to diagnose this condition at the earliest by doing blood test investigation and symptomatic management and delivery. We present a case in our hospital which came to urgent care with nonspecific symptoms and was diagnosed on blood tests and managed promptly and thus averted a catastrophic event.
