Prevalence and Pregnancy Outcomes of Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy
Background: Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is a common pregnancy-specific liver disease associated with increased risk of adverse fetal and maternal outcomes. We sought to determine its prevalence, risk factors and feto-maternal outcomes. Methods:

INTRAHEPATIC CHOLESTASIS OF PREGNANCY [PDF]
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is one of the primary disorders of the liver that adversely affects maternal well-being and fetal outcome. Early identification of this condition, careful interdisciplinary monitoring, and prompt delivery at fetal maturity can improve outcomes in the mother and child.

Histamine stimulates the proliferation of small and large cholangiocytes by activation of both IP3/Ca2+ and cAMP-dependent signaling mechanisms [PDF]
Although large cholangiocytes exert their functions by activation of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), Ca(2+)-dependent signaling regulates the function of small cholangiocytes. Histamine interacts with four receptors, H1-H4HRs.
