Heparin administration to pregnant women may cause some degree of damage to the liver, which in turn leads to elevated transaminases.
Transaminases are mainly found in liver cells, and when a drug with high hepatotoxicity passes through the liver, transaminases are released into the bloodstream, leading to elevated serum transaminases.
Heparin is mainly metabolized by the liver, if used for a long period of time during pregnancy, it will increase the burden on the liver, and elevated liver enzymes will occur. During the use of heparin, liver function should be rechecked regularly. If the liver enzyme elevation is obvious, it is recommended to stop using heparin, or change the drug with less impact on liver function, or use liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs to control under doctor’s guidance.
If the transaminase is elevated after heparin, it is necessary to pay attention to a reasonable diet to promote the repair and regeneration of liver cells. In addition, it is necessary to have a regular work and rest schedule, appropriate exercise, follow the doctor’s instructions, and regularly monitor liver function, so as to limit the damage to the liver within a controllable range.
If a pregnant woman’s aminotransferases appear to rise after taking heparin, she should go to the hospital in time and be treated accordingly under the doctor’s guidance. Drugs like heparin should be used under a doctor’s supervision to avoid unauthorized use.
