ICP is linked to adverse metabolic outcomes, including a reported increased risk of gestational diabetes. The standard therapeutic approach for managing ICP is treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and induction of labor prior to 40 weeks of gestation. To investigate bile acid and metabolic parameters after UDCA treatment, we enrolled 12 ICP patients with singleton pregnancies\u2013half with and half without gestational diabetes\u2013and 7 controls. Our study reveals that after UDCA treatment, notwithstanding a reduction in total bile acid and ALT levels, imbalances persist in the cholic acid (CA) to chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) ratio in maternal and cord blood plasma. This indicates a continued dysregulation of bile acid metabolism despite therapeutic intervention. Maternal plasma lipid analysis showed a distinct maternal dyslipidemia pattern among ICP patients, marked by elevated cholesterol levels on VLDL particles and heightened triglyceride concentrations on LDL particles, persisting even after UDCA treatment. Cord plasma lipid profiles in ICP patients exhibited elevated triglyceride and free fatty acid levels alongside a tendency toward increased \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate. The changes in lipid metabolism in both maternal and cord blood correlated with the high CA\/CDCA ratio, but not total bile acid levels or gestational diabetes status. Understanding the imbalances in maternal and cord bile acid and lipid profiles that persist after standard UDCA therapy provides insights for improving management strategies and mitigating the long-term consequences of ICP.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>News and Noteworthy<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This study uncovers that despite ursodeoxycholic acid treatment, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is associated with increases in the ratio of cholic acid to chenodeoxycholic acid in both maternal and cord blood, suggesting ongoing dysregulation of bile acid metabolism. The high cholic to chenodeoxycholic acid ratio is correlated with maternal dyslipidemia and high cord blood lipids.
