Resumo(s)

An exceptional case of early onset and prolonged postpartum course of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is described. Contrary to other drugs tested, ursodeoxycholic acid administered after the 29th week of gestation improved pruritus and decreased bile acid leveis both in serum and amniotic fluid. Labour was induced at 36 weeks, and a female weighing 2.050 g and with an Apgar score of nine was born. Ursodeoxycholic acid, by decreasing the passage of bile acids to the foetus, may have improved the outcome of the pmegnancy. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.
