It can: While any disorder of the liver may cause itching ("pruritis, ") in pregnancy one must be concerned about the build up of "bile salts, " not just "bile pigments, " such as hemoglobin. Cholestatsis of pregnancy is a result of the accumulation in the body of bile salts; this is a serious condition thjat warrants close monitoring. A blood test will confirm or refute the diagnosis.
