What causes high levels of glycocholic acid in pregnant women?

Everyone knows that pregnant women need to meet many physical conditions, and hepatobiliary acid is one of them. Some people are found to have high hepatobiliary acid during pregnancy check-ups. What causes high hepatobiliary acid in pregnant women? What harm does it do to pregnant women? Let me introduce it to you in detail below;

For hepatitis B patients, as long as the condition worsens, glycocholic acid will be high.

For pregnant women, during normal pregnancy, the serum glycocholic acid level increases with the gestational period. As the gestational month increases, the progesterone level in the blood also increases, thereby reducing the tension of smooth muscles.

This leads to decreased gallbladder tension and inhibited emptying during pregnancy, causing disorders in the liver's uptake and excretion of bile, and causing varying degrees of bile congestion. This leads to high levels of glycocholic acid in pregnant women.

This phenomenon is called physiological increase. If the level of glycocholic acid in pregnant women is elevated to a greater extent, the damage to the mother and baby will also be more serious. The higher the level of glycocholic acid, the more serious the damage to the mother and baby.

High levels of glycocholic acid in pregnant women

It can induce changes in the hepatobiliary system and may cause pregnant women to suffer from intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. Such patients are prone to amniotic fluid contamination, premature birth, fetal intrauterine distress and

The cesarean section rate increases. If the increase in glycocholic acid in pregnant women reaches more than 10 times the normal value, the risk will be even higher. In severe cases, it will cause fetal intrauterine distress, premature birth, etc. for

Foreign reports show that the incidence of premature birth in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is 20% to 60%, the incidence of fetal intrauterine distress is 20% to 30%, and the perinatal mortality rate is 1% to 3%.

The above article describes the relevant content about high bile acid levels in pregnant women. I believe that everyone has a good understanding of this type of disease after reading this. I hope that everyone can live a healthy life, care for their bodies, go to the hospital for regular pregnancy check-ups, and I hope this article can help more people.
