title: [Evaluation of maternal and fetal blood flow indices in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy].
abstract: To determine the existence of any change in the blood flow velocity indexes in patients with cholestasis of pregnancy, we studied a total of 51 pregnant women, (normal n = 15; anicteric cholestasis n = 21 and icteric cholestasis n = 15). There was no significant change in the parity, maternal age, gestational age, birth weight and in the apgar score among the groups. There was also no significant change in any of the blood flow indexes determined in the uterine artery, umbilical artery and fetal cerebral artery. We conclude that there are no significant changes in blood flow velocity indexes determined by doppler blood flow analysis in patients with cholestasis of pregnancy.
