Question
I am 18 weeks pregnant and just had a liver function test. The alanine aminotransferase level is 104 (reference range 10-50), and the aspartate aminotransferase level is 73 (reference range 10-50). There are no other liver issues.
Answer
Hello, when liver function is low, the liver’s role is to inactivate and excrete these enzymes. When the liver is insufficient, it cannot function at normal levels, leading to accumulation. This issue can be improved through liver supplementation. You can drink some chrysanthemum and goji tea to enhance liver function. Although there is some effect on the fetus, the impact is relatively minor because the fetus has its own liver to inactivate its own enzymes. So, it’s mainly about the mother’s deficiency, and she can supplement herself.
