Abstract

bile acids, ICP = intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, IVF = in vitro fertilization, LFTs = liver function tests, Me = median, UDCA = ursodeoxycholic acid, w.g. = weeks of gestation decreased, being assessed on the third day after delivery as less or equal with 5 points in 93.1% of cases, being occasional or discontinuous in 90.1% of cases. Conclusions. Pruritus is the most prevalent clinical sign of ICP and it should not be ignored, being considered as a call for follow-up.
