Aim: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a condition that manifests during the second or third trimester as pruritus, with or without jaundice. Although it is a disease that alters maternal well-being, no severe maternal morbidity or mortality is attributed to it. The purpose of this study was to focus on the clinical features of ICP and to determine the influence of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) on the prognosis of pregnancy in terms of
symptomatic relief and obstetric outcome.
Material-Methods: Forty-seven patients diagnosed with ICP were enrolled in this study. Of these, 35 received cholestyramine (4gr/day) and
12 received UDCA (750 mg/day). The severity of pruritus was graded before treatment and once a week following treatment.
Results: UDCA administration significantly improved fetal prognosis and maternal symptoms
(p<0,05).
Conclusion: Early and accurate detection of ICP is important in order to provide sufficient obstetric surveillance and fetal monitoring. The results of this study suggest that UDCA alters the pathogenesis of the disease and prevents adverse effects on pregnancy.
