The rate of fetal complications increases when maternal serum bile acid levels become elevated in women who develop intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, reported Dr. Anna Glantz of Sahlgrenska University Hospital/East, Goteborg, Sweden, and her colleagues.

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), defined as pruritus in pregnancy plus 10 [micro]mol/L or more of serum bile acids, occurred in 1.5% of 45,485 pregnancies recorded in a region of Sweden in February 1999-January 2002.
