Abstract:Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a liver disorder that occurs in late pregnancy and leads to elevated bile acid levels in the maternal serum, posing risks to fetal health, including preterm labor and fetal distress. Understanding the relationships between liver enzyme levels and fetal outcomes can guide early diagnostic and management strategies.
Objective: To evaluate the significance of early detection of ICP through routine liver enzyme tests (AST and ALT) and its correlation with … Show more
