Obstetric cholestasis is a liver condition that occurs during pregnancy, characterized by itching, elevated bile acids, and potential liver dysfunction. It usually arises in the third trimester and can lead to complications like preterm birth or fetal distress. Management includes monitoring bile acid levels, relieving symptoms with medications such as ursodeoxycholic acid, and, in severe cases, considering early delivery to minimize risks to the baby. Outcomes generally improve with timely intervention, but close follow-up is essential to ensure both maternal and fetal well-being.
