    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, inflammatory biliary disease of unknown cause.
    • Pregnancy complications in women with PSC are rare but require careful management.
    • Understanding PSC's impact on maternal and fetal health is crucial.

    Observation:

    • A case of pregnancy complicated by primary sclerosing cholangitis is presented.
    • Maternal cholestasis showed remarkable improvement as pregnancy progressed.
    • Elevated bile acid levels were noted in cord blood.

    Findings:

    • The patient delivered a healthy, full-term infant.
    • Despite the challenges of PSC, a favorable maternal and neonatal outcome was achieved.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of individualized management strategies for PSC in pregnancy.
    • Understanding the potential effects of PSC on pregnancy care is crucial for optimizing outcomes.
    • Further research into PSC and pregnancy may inform clinical guidelines.
