Mild elevations in the liver enzymes can be related to numerous problems, and your doctor will need to check for them Usually, it is a minor issue that will resolve after pregnancy, but your doctor will have to check for things such as hepatitis, gall bladder disease, and other things. There are many possible causes of severe itching and rash in pregnancy. Most are mild and can be treated with topical steroid creams or even steroids by mouth, or other things such as Benadryl. However, some causes of itching can be serious, so your doctor will need to keep checking your liver enzymes to make sure they don't get too high. If they do, it can be dangerous and could require early delivery. Most liver problems and itching are not related to gastric symptoms. The gastric symptoms are usually associated with normal pregnancy. However, if they are severe, you should see your doctor about it. Some problems such as cholestasis of pregnancy can be treated with medicines. In short, this is a very complicated issue which really needs a full workup from your doctor. Depending on what your diagnosis is, the consequences could be anywhere from very mild to very serious. Based on the levels you mentioned though, it sounds like it is not that serious. Please make sure you see your doctor to get a full work up so you and your baby will get proper treatment.
