    ICP is a liver condition that occurs during pregnancy. In ICP, the normal flow of bile is reduced, which causes bile to build up in the liver and bile acids to leak into the bloodstream. The main symptom of ICP is extreme itching in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

    Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy (ICP) falls under the Pregnancy & Children category.
