New Study Findings from Istanbul Training and Research Hospital Illuminate Research in Intrahepatic Cholestasis (The Role of Hyperemesis Gravidarum in the First-Trimester as a Predictor of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy).

A recent study conducted at Istanbul Training and Research Hospital explored the relationship between hyperemesis gravidarum (HEG) in the first trimester of pregnancy and the development of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). The study found that primigravid women with a history of HEG had elevated total bile acid (TBA) levels, while total and indirect bilirubin levels were reduced. This suggests that monitoring pregnant women with a history of HEG for the development of ICP and potential liver damage is crucial, although further research is needed to confirm these findings. The study was published in Clinical and Experimental Obstetrics & Gynecology. [Extracted from the article]
