cholestasis of pregnancy
I just recently got blood tests done and my bile levels were elevated and I had to go to a high risk specialist for a possible cholestasis diagnosis. I am still waiting on more blood test results to actually see if my bile levels are elevated because my syptoms went away. I am driving myself crazy thinking what ifs....
It is where your bile levels are elevated because your gall bladder cant process it right with the extra hormones that come along with pregnancy. The liver also isnt functioning properly and the bile spills over into the bloodstream and it causes you to itch uncontrollably on your hands and feet. It is determined that it also causes stillbirth and has to be monitored very carefully.
Oops auto correct. I meant cholestasis
