What Causes Elevated Liver Enzymes 11 Weeks Post Partum?
I am 11 weeks post partum and had a c section. My liver enzymes have been elevated since I gave birth and my ob determined I had post partum toxemia. I have also had an ultrasound done and it was normal. My levels have stayed the same since my last blood draw 2 weeks ago. Not sure if it is just related to the pregnancy and having a c section or if I should be really concerned. I have been on blood presume medicine since birth also

Hi, I have gone through your question. Elevated liver enzymes 11 weeks post partum can be due to 1. post partum hypertensive disorder which may cause liver dysfunction
2. Hepatitis due to any cause
3. Side effect of the drug.
I would suggest you to consult a hepatologist to get properly examined, investigated and treated.
It can be chronic hepatitis also and you may need liver biopsy to diagnose it.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,
Dr Deepti verma
