Abstract

Background ICP is a liver condition specific to pregnancy affecting 0.5–0.6% of pregnancies in Australia. Aims to review the SOMANZ guidelines and extrapolate information relevant to midwives proving care for women with ICP. Findings Multidisciplinary input is essential in caring for women with ICP and their families. Non-fasting TSBA samples ≥19 µmol/L are diagnostic in the presence of pruritus. Peak TSBA denotes the severity of the disease. Increased risk of stillbirth is small when peak TSBA ≥100 µmol/L. Conclusion Midwives play an essential role in supporting women with ICP helping them navigate complex appointments and manage the pruritus and concomitant issues.
