Intrahepatic Cholestasis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
If intense itching appears during pregnancy, especially on the hands and feet, it's worth discussing, as it could be intrahepatic cholestasis. In this condition the flow of bile from the liver is altered, which causes some substances to build up in the blood.
Usual manifestations:
- Itching that tends to intensify at night.
- At times, yellowish coloring of the skin or eyes.
- Urine that is darker than usual.
Who to see? In the context of pregnancy, the gynecologist is the one who usually provides follow-up; the gastroenterologist delves deeper into liver function and the pediatrician assesses the newborn when necessary. Discussing these symptoms with a professional makes it possible to monitor the health of both the mother and the baby.
