Does elevated liver enzymes starting at 30 weeks of pregnancy affect the baby?

Patient's question:

At 30 weeks of pregnancy, my ALT levels have increased. The first check was 110, the second was 86, the third was 120. After a week of intravenous treatment, it went up to 123 instead of decreasing. Now I'm at 34 weeks and want to know if it could cause any interference to the baby. What could be the reason for this? I experienced severe nausea in the early stages of pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

Do you know if you have had tests for hepatitis B, hepatitis A, and hepatitis C? Do you have fatty liver? Elevated liver enzymes always have a reason. 1 Now that you are in the late stage of pregnancy, you can take some liver-protecting medication under the guidance of your doctor. 2 Pay attention to rest, enhance nutrition, maintain a regular schedule, and avoid overworking. 3 Lie on your left side, monitor fetal movement, and have regular prenatal check-ups. These are suggestions for the question "Pregnant at 30 weeks with elevated liver enzymes," and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
