What are the potential complications of Hepatitis E that I should monitor in my patients?

Potential complications of hepatitis E to monitor in patients include:

• Acute liver failure, especially in pregnant women and those with pre-existing liver disease.
• Chronic hepatitis E infection, particularly in immunocompromised patients, which can lead to progressive liver fibrosis and cirrhosis.
• Extrahepatic manifestations such as neurological complications (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome), renal injury, and pancreatitis.
• Decompensation of underlying chronic liver disease.

Monitoring should focus on liver function tests, clinical signs of liver failure, and assessment for neurological or other systemic symptoms indicative of extrahepatic involvement.
