Side Effects Of Liver Hemangioma On Pregnancy

I am currently 22 weeks pregnant and 33 yrs. old. I am 5 4 and 140#. I had a gallbladder u/s done which came out normal, except showing that I still have liver hemangioma s(which I knew I had before I was pregnant). I also have had 2 seperate liver enzyme tests and both of them showed that my ALT is elevated. My AST and alk phos. are normal. My question is could my hemangioma s be causing the elevated ALT?

No, alt levels can increased normally in pregnancy also. If hemangioma is not increasing then I think no need to worry. Still consult your gastroenterologist and gynaecologist.
