Abstract:
:The pregnancies of two patients with mild intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (RCP) were followed with detailed analyses of bile acids in urine. About twenty-five different bile acids were determined by GC/MS following separation according to mode of conjugation. The results were collated with the clinical course of the disease. The first detectable change in bile acid excretion was the appearance of tetrahydroxylated bile acids at about the 30th gestational week. Somewhat later and concomitant with the rise in urinary oestriol, the total bile acid excretion started to increase. In one of the patients, who had a maximum total excretion of 84 mumol/24 h, deoxycholic acid was a major constituent, comprising about 40% of the total. The same patient had only slightly elevated levels of tetrahydroxylated bile acids and serum amino-transferases. The possible effect of low-fat diet on these results is discussed. Monohydroxylated bile acids were present throughout the pregnancies in small amounts and their role as aetiological factors is discussed. The care of RCP patients is outlined, and the need for simple, specific and quantitative methods for following the course of RCP is pointed out.
