If the bile acids are lowered and the fetal test results are within the normal range, the fetus will not be affected.
Elevated bile acids are usually seen in cholestasis syndrome during pregnancy. If the bile acids are only mildly elevated, after they are brought down to normal, they basically have no effect on the fetus. If the bile acid is persistently elevated, it will have a greater impact on the fetus, and may lead to intrauterine fetal death, intrauterine fetal distress, preterm labor, and neonatal jaundice.
After checking for elevated bile acids, treatment under the supervision of a doctor is required, as well as fetal heart rate monitoring to monitor the intrauterine well-being of the fetus. If, after treatment, the bile acid decreases significantly, fetal movement is normal, and fetal heart monitoring is normal, the pregnancy can be continued and the fetus is usually not affected.
If after active treatment, the bile still does not decrease, and there is a significant decrease in fetal movement and abnormal fetal heart rate monitoring, the pregnancy needs to be terminated promptly.
