    The proportion of urinary tract infections and postpartum hemorrhage is higher in ICP patients. Although prothrombin time is normal, reduced absorption of VitK may be the cause of postpartum hemorrhage. The long-term follow-up of the mother found that ICP can occur repeatedly in the subsequent pregnancy, and the mother's chance of developing gallstones later increases. Prematurity, low weight, amniotic fluid meconium contamination, and increased perinatal mortality in ICP mothers. Strengthen fetal heart monitoring, perinatal mortality rate can be reduced from 11% to 3.5%
