Many diseases are constantly emerging, and some people have some understanding of them, but some diseases may not be well understood by most people, such as cholestasis. The occurrence of this disease can be said to have a significant impact, especially on pregnant women. So, what are the effects of bile stasis on the fetus?
In general, when pregnant women suffer from cholestasis, it directly affects the brain development of the fetus. Because bile acids are toxic, they can also have an impact on the intellectual development of babies and pose limited risks to their physical health. For example, there may be symptoms such as intracranial hemorrhage or neurological sequelae, which pose a serious threat to the fetus. When pregnant women develop bile stasis, it can also lead to premature birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine death. Therefore, it is important to treat this disease correctly.
If left untreated, cholestasis can also lead to complications, such as hepatic encephalopathy, which is commonly referred to as hepatic coma. It can be said that this condition is the most direct cause of death. It can also cause hepatorenal syndrome, which can worsen the existing liver disease and lead to oliguria and anuria. During the disease, patients may also suffer from organ damage, and in severe cases, kidney failure may occur.
It can be seen that the harm of cholestasis is quite significant. Everyone should take timely measures to avoid the occurrence of this disease. Of course, once cholestasis occurs, appropriate treatment methods must be taken, and active cooperation with doctors, especially pregnant friends, is necessary. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on the intellectual development of the baby.
