Patient's question:
Abnormal liver function during pregnancy, Doctor. I have been told that my wife's liver function test results are abnormal. Is it liver disease? What should I do if liver function is abnormal during pregnancy? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, due to the needs of fetal development, the metabolism of glycogen in the liver of pregnant women is enhanced, and the burden on the liver is increased, making them more susceptible to viral hepatitis compared to the general population.Recommendations: During the acute phase of hepatitis, bed rest is recommended. A light diet should be followed, and intravenous fluids may be necessary to ensure adequate fluid and calorie intake. The use of medications that can damage liver function is strictly prohibited. Active liver-protecting treatment should be administered. Delivery should be completed as soon as possible. After the infant is born, isolation for about four weeks is required, and vaccination should be administered.
