Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Raised liver enzymes could be due to infection affecting liver, medication effect or due to hypertension in pregnancy.
Get your blood pressure measurement done, Blood platelet count and complete blood count.
Itching in vagina could be due to fungal infection, that needs to be treated, as it can spread upwards and affect fetus, or may affect baby during labor.
Get blood sugar test done for GDM, as there will be recurrent infection due to increased sugar levels.
Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.
Regards
Dr. Vidya
