Abstract Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is an uncommon disorder, which generally occurs in the second and third trimester of pregnancy with symptoms of pruritus.[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]
[…] delivery beginning at 36 weeks and the risk of expectant management continues to rise each week following 36 weeks gestation. [22] See also [ edit ] ICP Care ICP Support Cholestasis Cholestatic pruritus List of cutaneous conditions Pruritic urticarial papules[en.wikipedia.org]
Associated manifestations include fatigue, loss of appetite, darkurine 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]
Less common symptoms include darkurine, pale stools, pain under your ribs or shoulder blade, and some women get jaundiced.[community.babycenter.com]
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 darkurine and pale stools.[goodtoknow.co.uk]
Darkurine 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]
Initial contractions and vaginalbleeding subsided spontaneously, and corticosteroids were administered for fetal lung maturation. However, in utero fetal death occurred 9 hours after normal cardiotocography.[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]
Moreover, four fetuses from the ICP group had a mechanical PR interval 150 ms, which is compatible with a first-degreeatrioventricularblock.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
After 2-3 weeks of treatment, ALT levels decreased by more than 50% of base line in 67/86 (77.9%) patients and normalized in 34/86 (39.5%), and TBA concentrations decreased in 28/81 (34.6%). Only one patient stopped the treatment before delivery.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Data were compared between good (n 21) (disease-free before 1 year old) and poor prognosis groups (n 19). Good prognosis patients had a higher urinary THBA proportion than poor prognosis patients [25.89% (3.45-76.73%) vs. 1.93% (0.05-48.90%)].[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis is generally good with a tendency for a reduction in the frequency of attacks with age. However, progression from BRIC to PFIC and cirrhosis has been reported in the literature, indicative of a clinical continuum.[orpha.net]
However, it may worsen malabsorption of vitamin K and does not alter liver function or fetal prognosis [12].[peridocs.com]
Maternal prognosis is usually good but can result in adverse fetal outcome.[e-ijd.org]
OBJECTIVES: The etiology of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) involves environmental, hormonal and genetic factors.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology is unclear, but it believed to have genetic, hormonal, and environmental components. Possible fetal complications include meconium staining of amniotic fluid, preterm labor, and unexplained sudden intrauterine demise.[benthamscience.com]
This article will review the epidemiology, clinical features, pregnancy complications, and treatment for ICP.[benthamscience.com]
Epidemiology/Incidence : 0.3-0.5% among the general population with up to 15% incidence in Latin American countries. Incidence also increased in Hepatitis C infection (6-16%).[smfm.org]
Summary Epidemiology The prevalence of BRIC is unknown. Clinical description The first cholestatic episode can occur at any age but onset within the first two decades of life is most common.[orpha.net]
Epidemiology ICP varies geographically world wide but high incidence has been reported in the following countries: Araucanian Indian descent in Chile and Boliva - 6%-27.6% Sweden 1%-1.5% Women of Indian-Asian/Pakistain-Asian Orign - 1-2-1.5% Lower elsewhere[slideshare.net]
In this review, we will describe recent advances in the understanding of this condition with a particular emphasis on how aspects of genetic and reproductive hormone involvement in pathophysiology have been elucidated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
PRESENTATION: Here, we report for the first time a 24-year Japanese case of severe ICP diagnosed by typical symptoms, serum biochemical analysis, and treated with the administration of ursodeoxycholic acid which improved cholestasis and liver injury and prevented[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention : There are no preventative therapies or interventions available. Management: Preconception counseling: Risk of recurrence is between 50-60% in subsequent pregnancies after an affected index pregnancy.[smfm.org]
The difficulty in predicting and preventing unanticipated fetal death near term drives the obstetrician's desire to deliver infants before 38 weeks.[neoreviews.aappublications.org]
