What to do if liver function is abnormal during pregnancy

After becoming pregnant, women will go to the hospital regularly for a series of examinations to ensure the health of the fetus. Through the examination, they can not only find some diseases in time, but also understand the development of the fetus. For example, it is very important for pregnant women to have liver function tests. Abnormal liver function will cause a variety of symptoms, such as decreased appetite, vomiting, fatigue, etc. So what should I do if the liver function is abnormal after pregnancy?

First, what should we do if liver function is abnormal after pregnancy? After a woman becomes pregnant, the functional burden of the liver increases due to factors such as changes in endocrine function and increased blood flow throughout the body. Especially after the second trimester, as the fetus grows, the functional changes in the liver become more significant; in addition, the liver is compressed by the enlarged uterus, and the hepatic circulation is also affected to a certain extent, so the transaminase value at this time may increase slightly. This is a physiological change, which is fundamentally different from organic changes in the liver. It will return to normal after delivery, so there is no need to worry about it.

Second, the causes of abnormal liver function in late pregnancy can be divided into physiological and pathological types. The heavier the burden that pregnancy development puts on the liver during pregnancy, the more common it is for pregnant women to have abnormal liver function tests, which is a normal phenomenon. In addition, all nutrients absorbed by the fetus during pregnancy must be absorbed from the mother's body, so the amount of nutrition for pregnant women must be greatly increased. If the nutrition during pregnancy is insufficient, or excessive fatigue, etc., it may also cause abnormal liver function in pregnant women. Pregnant women should not worry too much at this time. They should pay more attention to diet and rest, ensure adequate rest time, eat a reasonable diet every day, and replenish the various nutrients needed by the body.

What should I do if I have abnormal liver function after pregnancy? For diet, eat more fungi, such as black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, etc. to enhance immunity. Fish is rich in protein and easy to digest. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to increase VC content. Do not smoke or drink to reduce the burden on the liver; eat less or no fried, pickled, greasy, spicy and irritating foods.
