ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relation between hepatic function of mothers and prognosis of fetuses in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP).Methods 166 patients with ICP were retrospectively studied.Results The incidences of meconium passage and fetal distress were perfectly high in mothers of high serum transaminase and bilirubin.The birth weight and Apgar scores of neonate were related to the levels of bilirubin and we could predict the fetal prognosis by analysis of mother's serum bilirubin level.The serum total bile acid(TBA) levels and other hepatic indexes were not related to the incidences of meconium passage and fetal distress.Conclusions The fetal prognosis of mothers with high-level serum transaminase and bilirubin is bad,so they must be taken great aware of.The prognosis of fetuses can be bettered by cesarean section at proper time.
