Should I Be Concerned About My Pregnancy With High Liver Enzymes?
I am10 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child.
I received a call back from my doctor that my recent tests showed high liver enzymes.
My ATL was 62 and my AST (ATS?) was 71.
I am not sure what this means or if I should really be concerned about my pregnancy.
My ultrasounds look good and my other blood work has been good.
Help?

Hi and welcome to HCM Thanks for the query.
these are moderately elevated liver enzymes but it should not interfere with your pregnancy if there is no proven liver disease. it may be just fatty liver or some other benign liver condition. also it can be caused by galbladder stones too. you should just repeat liver tests in few weeks and have regular us check ups.
Wish you good health. Regards
