Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is an important complication of pregnancy requiring increased surveillance by the obstetricians due to its increased foetal morbidity and mortality in the form of preterm birth, foetal distress, RDS including sudden IUD and stillbirth. The incidence of ICP is increasing due to IVF and routine administration of progesterone in early pregnancy. ICP usually presents in late second and third trimester. Here authors are presenting a case of early onset ICP (14 weeks) which developed in an IVF conception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
