Hi. According to your report the levels are really not very high.SGOT and PT are just on top normal limits . Since it is 7th month of pregnancy, the levels may rise and may cause itching all over body.
This is called Cholestasis of pregnancy.Consult your dr. and she will prescribe you treatment for that like Udibile and at the same time will also consult physician to rule out any other cause of hepatitis.
The only precaution is you will have to repeat the test and remain under strict follow up of your dr. and get scan of fetus with doppler study. If levels rise pregnancy is usually terminated by 37 weeks, if it is due to cholestasis of pregnancy only.Don't worry, everything will be fine.Thanks and take care.
