Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a liver disorder that occurs in pregnant women. Cholestasis is a condition that impairs the release of a digestive fluid called bile from liver cells. As a result, bile builds up in the liver, impairing liver function. Because the problems with bile release occur within the liver (intrahepatic), the condition is described as intrahepatic cholestasis. Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy usually becomes apparent in the third trimester of pregnancy.
You may be diagnosed with obstetric cholestasis if you have unexplained itching. in pregnancy with abnormal blood tests (liver function and bile acid tests), both of which get better after. your baby is born. It is a diagnosis that is made once other causes of itching and abnormal liver function. have been ruled out.
