Itching in pregnancy
Hi, i have severe itching in abdomen area thats where i have stretch marks, i have consulted dermatologist he gave me ointments but its not so effective as he said he cannot give me steroids at this stage as i am in 3rd trimester and also sometimes i have a bit of palm itchiness only on one hand( not intense), due to which i waa doubtful for cholestosis in pregnancy so i checked my bile acid level and liver function test my bile acid states 1.2 level is there something to worry about? Although it shows within range my gynaecologist said its a bit high but i find it in observed value as attached in pictures . I am not sure if she checked my reports properly. Pls can someone guide. I have attached the pics of liver function test and bile acid level as well. Thanks a lot in advamce :)

You have cholestasis of pregnancy. If you have such great doubts about your gynec, change her. Do not question them at every step. Her treatment is absolutely correct.

SGOT and SGPT are not the criteria. Alkaline phosphatase is. Its raised. You need medication for the same
