Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Levels of
alkaline phosphatase increase normally during
pregnancy. So this test is not a guide to liver function in pregnancy. SGOT an SGPT are more predicitve of liver disorder.
The SGPT is slightly raised but SGOT is almost normal.
I suggest that you get a serum
bilirubin test,
Hepatitis B, C, A, E, and bile salts tested. These are all a guide to liver function. Also get an
ultrasound of liver done along with other abdominal organs to look for any structural defects.
There is no need to induce labor pains early with your current reports. Your wife may simply be having prurigo of pregnancy a condition associated with sever itching during pregnancy and disappears after delivery. Other causes like skin infections must be ruled out after discussion with your doctor.
I suggest that you consult a physician and do the above tests. Repeat the tests after 2 weeks while keeping a watch on your wife's health and frequent visits to your obstetrician and physician.
Hope I was able to help you. Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
I would be happy to answer any further queries.
Have a nice day.
