Raised ALT and AST in third trimester

[Mewbookitty]

Hi all, I'm 33 weeks + 3 and just wondering if anyone has had experience with raised ALT and AST levels in their pregnancy?

I started with itchiness all over my body, which is more apparent of an evening time 3 days ago and decided to ring the midwife as my gut told me something didn't seem right and I got told to go for some bloods. My bloods came back with raised AST and ALT with the ALT being the highest however, my bile acid was perfectly fine. I went today to have further blood tests done and currently waiting on a liver scan but I have to go for weekly blood tests to monitor my liver function.

However, up until this point my pregnancy has been fine, my bloods have been fine (28 week routine showed slightly raised levels they weren't too concerned about), my blood pressure is fine and I feel fine within myself so it's completely took me by surprise especially as I had a scan on my liver last year and bloods due to ribcage pain both of which were normal.

Obviously I'm starting to feel very nervous about it all as there is so many things than can cause this and some of which are quite sinister and I'm worried about anything harming the baby and myself so anyones personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Good morning Mewbookitty,

Sorry to here about your deranged blood tests and itch in your pregnancy.

Unfortunately, no-one on this site is medically qualified to comment on your blood tests specifically.

May I suggest you continue wih your weekly blood tests and ask for referral to Hepatology (liver specialists ) if your blood tests and itching continue ?

You can also call our helpline on 0800 652 7330 Mon-Fri 10am - 14.45pm if you wish to chat things through

Best Wishes,
