Comparative analysis of vitamin K levels in women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
This study suggests that ICP contributes to significant Vitamin K1 deficiency in pregnant women, potentially increasing postpartum hemorrhage risk. Routine Vitamin K monitoring and possible supplementation with vitamin K in pregnant women with ICP may be beneficial to mitigate adverse maternal outcomes. Further research is warranted to confirm these findings.
