Brief Answer:
Taking the tablets as advised will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
During pregnancy it is normal for the liver enzymes to be elevated due to extra stress on the liver due to the baby. This is called cholestasis of pregnancy. These raised liver enzymes will normalize on their own after delivery.
For the time being taking tablets Ursokem will help. This mild rise in liver enzymes will not harm baby. The respiratory problem is usually seen in premature babies. Raised liver enzymes are not associated with any such serious issues.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
