What should pregnant women do if their alkaline phosphatase is high?

During pregnancy, special attention should be paid to physical health issues to ensure the healthy development of the fetus. If pregnant women have symptoms of high alkaline phosphatase, they should also be alert to whether it is caused by some pathological factors, such as liver and gallbladder diseases, hyperparathyroidism and other diseases.

1. Experts point out that, under normal circumstances, it is normal for pregnant women to have elevated alkaline phosphatase levels. According to clinical experience, when pregnant women are nine months pregnant, alkaline phosphatase levels are about two to three times the standard level. In addition, if pregnant women eat foods high in fat, it may also lead to high levels of alkaline phosphatase. In addition, pathological factors that may cause elevated alkaline phosphatase in pregnant women cannot be ruled out, such as bone diseases, liver and gallbladder diseases, hyperparathyroidism, etc.

2. The index of alkaline phosphatase has important diagnostic significance for liver lesions and damage. There are many reasons that can cause high alkaline phosphatase. High alkaline phosphatase in pregnant women may be normal or it may be a problem with the liver. If a pregnant woman with hepatitis B has high alkaline phosphatase, you need to pay attention.

3. Experts remind that if pregnant women have high alkaline phosphatase, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination to see if there are any problems with the liver. If there is no problem with the liver, the high alkaline phosphatase will return to normal after the baby is born. Otherwise, you should go to a regular liver disease specialist hospital for examination in time. If it is caused by a recurrence of hepatitis B, you need to receive treatment in time.
