ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

AIMS:

The risk of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy [ICP] is increased in thiopurine-exposed pregnancies. Thiopurine 'shunting', with a 6-methylmercaptopurine [MMP] to 6-thioguanine [TGN] ratio of >11, progresses over pregnancy, and may promote ICP development. We aimed to explore the association between thiopurine exposure and ICP, including the hypothesised impact of thiopurine shunting, and identify risk minimisation strategies.

METHODS:

This prospective multicentre cohort study compared thiopurine and biologic monotherapy-exposed pregnant participants. Disease activity and obstetric outcome data, thiopurine metabolites, bile acids, and transaminases were obtained before conception, in each trimester, at delivery, and postpartum. Thiopurine dose management was at the discretion of the treating physician.

RESULTS:

Included were 131 thiopurine and 147 biologic monotherapy-exposed pregnancies. MMP/TGN ratio increased from preconception to third trimester [p <0.01], with approximately 25% of participants shunting in pregnancy. Second trimester split dosing led to a decrease in the median MMP/TGN ratio from 18 (interquartile range [IQR] 6-57) to 3 [IQR 2-3.5] at delivery [p = 0.04]. The risk of ICP was increased in thiopurine-exposed pregnancies (6.7% [7/105] vs 0% [0/112], p <0.001), with all ICP cases occurring in the setting of antenatal thiopurine shunting. Thiopurine dose increases (risk ratio [RR] 8.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.88-34.85, p = 0.005) and shunting in third trimester [6.20, 1.21-30.73, p = 0.028] and at delivery [14.18, 1.62-123.9, p = 0.016] were associated with an increased risk of ICP.

CONCLUSIONS:

Thiopurine exposure is associated with an increased risk of ICP, particularly following dose increases antenatally and with shunting in late pregnancy. The latter may be effectively managed with split dosing, although further studies are warranted.
