Postpartum liver issues

[Jellybelly89]

Hello,

I had my baby three months ago. I was diagnosed with ICP late pregnancy.

After my pregnancy my bile acids returned to normal. However, my ALT,ALP and GGT levels are gradually rising.

I had a liver scan two weeks postpartum which showed possible hamenagiomas. I am also still getting some itching/mild burning in my hands ans feet.

Has anyone have any similar stories?

I am sure our forum members will be along to share experiences.

I wonder if you have been referrred to a hepatologist?

I have also included the link to our information on Intrahepatic Cholestasis in Pregnancy (ICP)

Take care,

Hi Jellybelly89

I hope you are well. Not sure if this will help at all. I didn’t have any issues identified during my pregnancy. However, 3 months postpartum I decided to get a blood test just to check my health following having my baby (May 2019) which showed a raised ALT - it was at 93. I then went to the doctor for some routine bloods and they identified that I had postpartum thyroiditis. At that time my T4 level was really high. As that came down, so did the level of my ALT. My thyroiditis resolved by Dec 2019. I had another blood test in June this year and all liver readings were fine. Again, not sure if this is helpful or relevant to your situation but thought I’d share as I was terrified when I had my results and concerned as to the problem!!
