Which pregnant women are prone to cholestasis?

It is actually quite common for pregnant women to experience cholestasis, but some pregnant women may not know much about this condition. Cholestasis is a unique disease during pregnancy, especially for pregnant women with liver diseases, such as hepatitis B and positive triple positive.

Cholestasis syndrome is a disease unique to pregnancy. It is a group of diseases characterized by increased bile acid, itchy skin, and abnormal liver function. The following pregnant women are prone to cholestatic syndrome:

First, pregnant women with liver diseases, such as hepatitis B, triple positive, and liver cirrhosis, are prone to cholestasis syndrome because bile acid has a clear relationship with liver function.

Second, older pregnant women and pregnant women under the age of 18 are also prone to cholestasis syndrome because they are too young and their liver function is not perfect. After the age of 35, the burden on the liver increases, which increases the probability of cholestasis syndrome.

Third, pregnant women with gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes are also prone to cholestasis syndrome. Fourth, patients with a family history of cholestasis syndrome or patients whose first child had cholestasis syndrome are also prone to it.

Of course, regular prenatal examinations are essential.
