What to do if your liver function markers are high during pregnancy

High liver function during pregnancy may be related to physiologic factors as well as pathologic factors such as hepatitis B and intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy. It can be relieved by general treatment, medication such as hepatitis B immunoglobulin and glucose following medical advice.
1. Physiological factors: Due to the changes in endocrine and systemic blood flow during pregnancy, liver function also changes, so it may cause high liver function in pregnant women.
2. Pathologic factors: include many possibilities.
(1) Hepatitis B: Since pregnant women have carried hepatitis B before, after pregnancy, due to the change of immune status, it may lead to active viral replication causing acute attack of hepatitis B, thus leading to high liver function during pregnancy.
You can follow the doctor’s advice to take drugs: such as lamivudine, tenofovir and so on. Pay attention to the need for regular monitoring of relevant indicators after treatment, once abnormalities are found, they must be dealt with in a timely manner under the guidance of the doctor.
(2) Intrahepatic cholestasis during pregnancy: Due to the increase of estrogen after pregnancy, bile acid metabolism is blocked, which may lead to high liver function during pregnancy.
Hepatoprotective drugs such as glucose oral solution, vitamin C tablets and inosine tablets can be taken according to the doctor’s prescription, which can protect the liver or have a certain effect on improving liver function. It is important to note that liver function needs to be monitored after medication.
High liver function during pregnancy requires timely treatment in regular hospitals to identify the cause of the disease and treat the symptoms.
