High ALT and GGT postpartum. Potential haemangioma

I am ten weeks postpartum. I was diagnosed with cholestasis in the last few weeks of pregnancy but my bile acids never exceeded 20.

About four weeks postpartum I had some liver tests. My alt was 52. I had these repeated again and my alt is now 117 and ggt is 74.

I had a liver scan at two weeks postpartum which showed potential haemangiomas. I also still have itching on the soles of my feet- but only at night

What could be causing the elevation? I did eat a lot of fatty foods the days leading up to my most recent blood test. And I think I will also be due my period.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi,

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.

Have you been referred to a liver specialist? It is really important to get clear clinical advice regarding your blood tests and symptoms and this should come from a doctor.

Best wishes.
