Introduction. Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis is a rare hepatologic disorder characterized by recurrent, self-limited episodes of severe pruritus, jaundice, and elevated bile acids. While there are guidelines for the management of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, the literature regarding benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis and pregnancy is limited. Case. A 29-year-old G1P0 woman, with history of liver toxicity, had elevated total serum bile acid levels and liver enzymes documented at 8 weeks of gestation and throughout her pregnancy. She had a reactive nonstress test just 3 days prior to her induction. Fetal demise was noted when she presented at 36 weeks for her induction. Conclusion. We recommend that women with elevated total serum bile acid early in pregnancy due to a separate entity relative to intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy be managed in a more individualized approach.

Background: Maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes in parturients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) have been retrospectively documented. We aimed to present pregnancy outcomes of parturients with ICP who underwent delivery. The study was conducted during a 1-year period in a tertiary care centre.Methods: Data from 1 January to 31 December 2017 were collected to identify parturients with ICP.Results: Almost 3/4th of births came to a vaginal delivery (76.74%) and only 10 parturients had cesarean delivery. 4 of 10 parturients underwent nonelective cesarean section, while 6 had elective cesarean delivery. 15.15 % vaginal deliveries were instrumental. The most common indications for emergency LSCS and instrumental deliveries was fetal distress followed by failure to progress of labour. Most births occurred at or after 37 weeks of gestation (65%).  Regarding neonatal outcomes in terms of birth weight and Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min, they were positive, as well.  None of the babies had Apgar score < 7 at 5 minutes. No case of perinatal death was observed.Conclusions: Although the results were generally positive, larger studies need to be conducted to evaluate the maternal and fetal outcomes in ICP and correlation with serum bile acid levels.
