Does high transaminase during pregnancy have any effect on the baby?

There are many reasons for high transaminase levels in pregnant women, such as endocrine disorders, wrong medications during pregnancy, and a variety of other diseases including some liver and gallbladder diseases. These can cause high transaminase levels in pregnant women. This problem in pregnant women needs to be taken seriously. In addition to harming the health of pregnant women, it will also have adverse effects on the fetus.

Does high transaminase during pregnancy have any impact on the child?

1. If the high transaminase level in pregnant women is caused by a disease, it is likely to harm the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman, or cause abnormal development of the baby. Therefore, if the increase of transaminase is caused by physiological reasons, you must go to a reliable hospital for regular examination and treatment in time. However, you should choose medicines that are harmless to children during treatment, and eat more nutritious foods in daily life. For example, eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, eating more mushroom foods, such as black fungus, oyster mushrooms, fungi, etc., can enhance immunity. Fresh fish is rich in protein and easy to digest, so try to avoid adding pressure to the liver.

2. If the high transaminase level of a pregnant woman is caused by physiological factors, there is no need to worry or be anxious at this time, as it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Generally, after pregnancy, due to factors such as changes in endocrine function and increased blood volume, the functional pressure on the liver also increases. Especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, as the fetus grows, the functional changes in the liver become more obvious. In addition, the liver is compressed by the enlarged uterus, and the liver circulatory system is also affected to a certain extent. Therefore, the transaminase level may increase slightly at this time.

Elevated transaminase is the main manifestation of abnormal liver function, which may be common in viral hepatitis, fatty liver, alcoholic liver, etc., and needs to be combined with relevant tests to determine the cause and treat it purposefully. Elevated transaminase indicates kidney damage, which may be viral hepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, blood accumulation in the liver, gallbladder and liver stones, etc. You can test for hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E virus, and do a gallbladder and liver ultrasound. If the test is normal and the transaminase is only slightly elevated, it is not a big problem.

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, liver disease became active, with alanine aminotransferase rising to 161U and aspartate aminotransferase rising to 70U, both of which were significantly increased, especially alanine aminotransferase. You can take liver protecting and enzyme lowering drugs such as Yisanfu and glycyrrhizin to control liver inflammation. Generally speaking, it has no effect on the fetus.
