Patient's question:
I want to get a check-up for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP). Do I need to fast beforehand? For how many hours? I just ate 4 bananas at 10:30.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of the condition, it is indeed possible to have itching caused by bile stasis during pregnancy. If it is bile stasis as mentioned in Western medicine, you can get liver function tests or blood biochemistry (blood biochemistry includes liver function tests).
