Hepatic Injuries

Hepatic injury like a hepatic rupture will be obvious immediately following birth, or at least within the first couple days. Infants that have hepatomegaly may be at higher risk for hepatic injury rupture, as well as infants that are born premature, postmature, with coagulation disorders and asphyxia. An intra-abdominal injury is relatively uncommon, which can cause something like a hepatic injury to be overlooked as a cause of death in a newborn because of this. A hepatic injury is the most commonly damaged internal organ. It is important to quickly identify a hepatic injury and stabilize the infant if needing to manage the condition.
