Serum cholic and chenodeoxycholic acids during pregnancy and puerperium in normal and pre-eclamptic women.
Serum cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and other biochemical markers of liver diseases were determined during pregnancy and in the puerperium in 19 normal and 16 pre-eclamptic women. In one-third of the cases, either CA or CDCA or both increased to values above the reference limits 6 weeks after delivery.
