Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is the most common specific liver disorder during pregnancy, it is a multifactorial condition that appears in genetically susceptible women and it is mainly characterized by palmoplantar itching predominantly at night. Its importance lies in the considerable fetal morbidity and mortality. Although the treatment is simple, we must know how to make the diagnosis.

Results:
An update regarding the diagnosis and treatment of this disease is provided, to act as a clinical guide for healthcare professionals.
