A member asked:
Can eating before a bile acid blood test affect the results. when testing for pregnacy cholesatsis ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cholestasis: It is not necessary to be fasting before serum bile acid testing for cholestasis of pregnancy. Not all patients with cholestasis will have abnormal blood work. Some physicians will try a medication called Ursodiol in patients with suspected cholestasis. If the itching resolves on this medication then this can confirm the diagnosis.
