What is the prognosis (outlook) for people with cholestasis of pregnancy?
Cholestasis of pregnancy goes away as soon as the baby is born. After delivery, bile levels return to normal. Women can stop taking UDCA medication, with their doctor’s guidance, at this point.
Most women with the disorder do not have any more liver problems unless they become pregnant again. Women who develop cholestasis of pregnancy during one pregnancy are more likely to develop it in later pregnancies.
