May or may not decrease. Treatment is right. Yes, caesarean can be done as long as it is not increasing further.
Physician/gastroenterologist/hepatologist any one can be consulted as extra step.

Gynaecologist,
Udiliv is the right medicine for your problem. Higher bile acid level is a common cause of itching in pregnancy. Do not worry about this but for symptomatic relief you can use Zincal lotion or Calamine lotion locally.
Triglycerides and cholesterol increase in pregnancy naturally. Needed for the baby. And cholesterol lowering medicines should not be taken in pregnancy. Technically Udiliv is not a cholesterol medicine. That said the values you have mentioned are within normal limits for pregnancy. So don’t worry about it. And no need to take udiliv.
Hi Madhu
The itching is effect of irritation of nerves in the skin, due to the bile acids. That will take some time to resolve. Apply calamine lotion. Cold compress might help. If too unbearable, you can take tablets, but do check with you obstetrician.
