CONCLUSIONS: Increased levels of vitamins B1 and B2 may indicate a need for increased energy metabolism at the fetus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Jaundice and Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) The increased build-up of bilirubin leads to jaundice, dark colored urine and pale white clay colored stool. This may be seen in very few severe cases of ICP. [news-medical.net]

CONCLUSIONS: Fetuses of ICP cases have significant left ventricular dysfunction. Mod-MPI can be used in the prediction of adverse perinatal outcomes in ICP. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Painless jaundice is usually the first sign of tumor. METHOD: We present a patient with a CC (Klatskin tumor) with a complete biliary drainage by an aberrant bile duct without jaundice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy Also known as recurrent cholestasis of pregnancy, obstetric cholestasis, cholestasis of pregnancy, recurrent jaundice of pregnancy, cholestatic jaundice of pregnancy, idiopathic jaundice of pregnancy, prurigo gravidarum [dermcoll.edu.au]

Description DEFINITION Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy ICP also known as Obstretic cholestasis or recurrent jaundice of pregnancy or Pruritus gravidarum, is a cholestatic disorder characterized by pruritus,elevated serum aminotransferases and bile [flipper.diff.org]

Scleral icterus and jaundice were observed at 27 weeks. Elevated bile acid levels confirmed a diagnosis of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, and ursodeoxycholic acid therapy was initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus, anti-inflammation therapy targeting Gpbar1/NF-κB pathway could be effective in suppressing bile acid-induced inflammation and alleviating ICP-associated fetal disorders. The Author (2016). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pruritus improved in 75/98 (76.5%) patients, and totally disappeared before delivery in 25/98 (25.5%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is no rash but the skin may show scratch marks (excoriations) or become yellow (jaundiced). This condition typically develops late in pregnancy and resolves within days after the baby is born. [dermcoll.edu.au]

These are called excoriations and may be complicated with bacterial infections as well. The itching sites may sometimes bleed due to excessive scratching. Due to chronic itching the nails of the patient may also appear shiny and smooth. [news-medical.net]

Related Signs and Symptoms In addition to severe itching, the signs and symptoms of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy may include: Jaundice Rash due to scratching (excoriations) Loss of appetite (anorexia) Fatigue Light colored and greasy stools that [dermatology.about.com]

Diagnostic criteria included the following: 1) clinical presentation of severe itching without a rash (except for excoriation), with a pattern of distribution characteristic of ICP, which includes the hands and feet (mainly palms and soles) [ 24 ]; 2) [journals.plos.org]

The objective of the study was to evaluate maternal liver elasticity by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastosonography in ICP and to compare it with that in healthy pregnant women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Associated manifestations include fatigue, loss of appetite, dark urine and pale stools. Hepatomegaly is also a common finding. Between episodes patients show no symptoms and the interval between attacks varies from months to years. [orpha.net]

Although itching, which may be mild or severe and is typically on hands and feet (although it can be anywhere on the body) is the main symptom of ICP, other things to look out for are dark urine and pale stools. [goodtoknow.co.uk]

Less common symptoms include dark urine, pale stools, pain under your ribs or shoulder blade, and some women get jaundiced. [community.babycenter.com]

Dark urine and pale stools can also be an indicator, as well as feeling unwell and not having much appetite. Some women develop jaundice (yellowing of the whites of the eyes and skin) but this is not common. [thenaturalparentmagazine.com]

The infant, a preterm female delivered at a gestational age of 31 weeks, was referred to our hospital at the age of 8 months because of jaundice lasting for 4.5 months and ovarian masses uncovered for 3 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Red blood cell distribution width, an anisocytosis marker in a complete blood count, has been used as an inflammation marker in various diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinical investigation disclosed severe intrahepatic cholestasis, nephrotic syndrome, erythrocytosis and hypoglycemia. Diagnosis of systemic AL amyloidosis was established by percutaneous liver biopsy. Bone marrow biopsy showed 32% of myeloma cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
