assistant
The first person to describe cholestasis in pregnancy was a doctor called John Hunter. Hunter described this condition in the 1800s, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that doctors began to understand what caused cholestasis in pregnancy. Cholestasis is a disease in which bile does not flow normally through the liver. The bile is blocked in the liver and can cause a buildup of toxins in the body. Cholestasis can be fatal if not treated.
