intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.
intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy,
a type of intrahepatic cholestasis sometimes seen during the third trimester of pregnancy, characterized by severe itching, hepatomegaly, and sometimes jaundice. It clears up after delivery. The cause is unknown, but because it occurs far more in certain ethnic groups than in others, there may be a genetic link.
