The biochemical diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy.

Published in: Obstetric medicine (2018)

Normal biochemistry should not preclude a trial of ursodeoxycholic acid in women with distressing pruritus typical for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Biochemical tests which are more sensitive and specific in the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy would be valuable. Investigation of other populations with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy regarding a possible association with atopy/allergy would be interesting.
