Cholestasis of pregnancy

Patient's question:

What are the causes of intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy? Can it be prevented during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello; The current cause is not yet clear and may be related to factors such as female hormones, genetics, and the environment. Suggestions: It is recommended to start weekly NST tests from week 34 of pregnancy to detect fetal hidden hypoxia early. There is no specific preventive method, but serum bilirubin levels can be checked during prenatal examinations to ensure they are normal.
