Serum cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and other biochemical markers of liver diseases were determined during pregnancy and in the puerperium in 19 normal and 16 pre‐eclamptic women. In one‐third of the cases, either CA or CDCA or both increased to values above the reference limits 6 weeks after delivery.
