Interpretation The risk of stillbirth is increased
in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of
pregnancy and singleton pregnancies when
serum bile acids concentrations are of 100
µmol/L or more. Because most women with
intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy have
bile acids below this concentration, they
can probably be reassured that the risk of
stillbirth is similar to that of pregnant women
in the general population, provided repeat
bile acid testing is done until delivery
