High Alkaline Phosphatase level
Hi, my wife is 34 weeks pregnant. She is suffering from severing itching on her arms and legs since one week. Our doc suggested to take the LFT tests in which her Alkaline Phosphatase level was 176 which is high to a normal range of 0-105. Will this create any problems on delivering the baby or to the mother? Any ways to reduce the AP levels?
