Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 32 weeks pregnant. The day before yesterday, my blood test results showed ALT 314, AST 176, and TBA 18, but I don't have any symptoms like itching, aversion to fatty foods, or loss of appetite! In the past two weeks, I have been drinking chicken soup and lamb soup every day, which might have interfered with the test results. Is there a serious problem with my liver? Previous tests were normal, and the doctor prescribed liver-protective medication, but I haven't taken it yet, afraid it might affect the baby. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to your information, elevated liver enzyme transaminase at 30 weeks of pregnancy is considered to be caused by recurrent fat metabolism disorder and intrahepatic congestion during pregnancy. It is recommended to follow a light diet, and the fetus is normal in the uterus. After delivery, the levels gradually rise. It is advised to maintain a light diet during pregnancy, as late pregnancy can easily lead to recurrent fat metabolism disorders in the liver, which gradually increase postpartum. Regular check-ups are recommended, and if skin itching occurs again, seek follow-up treatment promptly. Maintain a light diet and engage in appropriate activities to enhance your physical condition and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
