High ALT levels

Anyone else have high ALT levels? 21 weeks and itching but been advised unlikely IC as too early. Gotta go in for further tests in morning and liver scan

Hello,

I had this after complaining of itching too. Bile salts (the markers for IC) were normal. 2.5 years later I’ve still got a high ALT, have had ultrasounds and and MRI of the liver with nothing abnormal.

I’ve had no symptoms or anything - just something that was picked up as I was pregnant and probably would never have been noticed otherwise!

I had high ALT picked up at the end of my pregnancy. No itching though.

It was initially thought it was a result of pre-eclampsia, but a consultant decided to check back through my records. It seems I'd had high ALT picked up on a blood test done about 18 months prior. There was no possibility I was pregnant then, so it might just be normal for me.

Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.
