Summary

This study looks at babies born to mothers with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a liver condition that causes itching and high bile acid levels. Researchers want to see if these bile acids can lead to breathing problems in newborns. They will compare 120 babies—some exposed to ICP and some not—to find out. The goal is to better understand and potentially prevent lung issues in these infants.

Who is studied

The study will include selected neonates born at term or preterm age, in a third degree neonatal unit in Bucharest, Romania (Clinical Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology "Prof.Dr. Panait Sirbu"). For the ICP-exposed group, the study population is represented by neonates born to mothers with intrahepatic cholestasis diagnosed during pregnancy. The unexposed group will include neonates of similar gestational age/weight/sex at birth born to mothers with no hepatic diseases.
