Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is the most common pregnancy-related liver disease that occurs during pregnancy. It causes mortality and morbidity. In this review, intrahepatic (ICP) discussed with current literature.

conclusions udca decreased the pruritus score, tba, and alt levels more effectively than same, reducing the rate of preterm delivery for icp. evidence acquisition a meta-analysis of all randomized controlled trials (rcts) comparing udca, same, and combination therapy was performed. we carried out a literature search using pubmed, embase, the cochrane register of controlled trials, and the scien...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate postpartum blood loss in women with treated intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. METHODS In a retrospective case-control study, 15,083 deliveries including 348 women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (2.3%) were analyzed from 2004 to 2014. To adjust for differences in baseline characteristics, a propensity analysis was performed and women in the control group ...

We report a case of secondary sclerosing cholangitis that manifested itself during pregnancy. A tentative diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy was considered, but after her third delivery, a liver biopsy and imaging, as well as review of past records, confirmed the diagnosis of secondary sclerosing cholangitis. Maternal and fetal outcomes of primary sclerosis cholangitis have been...

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is the most common pregnancy-specific liver disease that typically presents in the third trimester. The clinical features are maternal pruritus in the absence of a rash and deranged liver function tests, including raised serum bile acids. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, including spon...

Common skin conditions during pregnancy generally can be separated into three categories: hormone-related, preexisting, and pregnancy-specific. Normal hormone changes during pregnancy may cause benign skin conditions including striae gravidarum (stretch marks); hyperpigmentation (e.g., melasma); and hair, nail, and vascular changes.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the associations between adverse perinatal outcomes and serum transaminase levels at the time of diagnosis in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of patients hospitalized for evaluation of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy from January 2013 to June 2014 in a tertiary center.

This article gives an overview of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cholestasis. Topics reviewed include the pathomechanisms of hereditary cholestasis syndromes, such as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis, and hepatocellular transporter defects encountered in various acquired cholestatic disorders, such as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, drug-induced cholestasis, inflam...
