Impact of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy on Neonatal Respiratory Outcomes

Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a liver condition in late pregnancy, causing itching and high bile acid levels that return to normal after birth. Babies born to mothers with this condition may have a higher risk of breathing issues. Researchers suspect bile acids might lead to a specific type of lung problem in newborns, but more studies are needed to confirm this.
