Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), characterized by pruritus in the second half of pregnancy, entails an increased risk to the fetus. This study was designed to determine the incidence and fetal complication rates in ICP, and to define groups at increased risk. In an prospective cohort stu
The concentrations in serum of sulfated metabolites of pro-Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is charactergesterone are known to be elevated in patients with intraheized by skin pruritus appearing in late pregnancy, coinciding patic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP).

A possible association between intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) and human-leukocyte histocompatibility (HLA) antigens-used as genetic markers-was studied in 100 women with ICP compared to 100 multiparous women without a past history of the disease. Because we previously found a higher fre
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is characterized by troublesome maternal pruritus, elevated serum bile acids (> or =10 micromol/L) and increased fetal risk. Recently we determined a cutoff level of serum bile acids, > or =40 micromol/L, to be associated with impaired fetal outcome. We ha
