Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and total bile acid (TBA) concentration in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). Materials and methods: Fasting and postprandial TBA, NLR, and aminotransferase (AST/ALT) levels in the blood samples of 65 pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis were examined in this prospective case-control study. Thirty-three of the patients had mild disease and 32 had severe disease: 70 healthy women in uncomplicated pregnancies served as the control group. Results: Not only was the mean NLR elevated in the pregnant women with cholestasis when compared to the controls, but it also predicted the severity of the cholestasis. The correlation between fasting TBA and NLR was significant. Comments: Although TBA is still the diagnostic standard, NLR can be used as an initial screening tool due to its high specificity.
