slightly abnormal liver function, i'm so scared
in Baby
Hi, well couple of weeks ago i went to a&e with bad gut pain, in my back too was horrendous, dr gave me some tabs and said it was excessive stomach acid. he also said my liver function from the blood test was slightly abnormal and would repeat it the following week. so last week went for blood test again, amyway this morning got letter through door saying my liver function is still slightly abnormal and he is sending me for an ultrasound on it. Has anyone else had this, please someone reassure me, Max is 6 weeks old so could it be from pegnancy?? I'm so scared, i panic about everything and thi wont stop going round in my head, google has made it worse

All I can say is that you have 'slightly abnormal liver function' If it was bad the doctor would ring you and discuss it. I would try not to worry about it. But to put your mind at rest go and see your doctor and discuss it with him. I'm sure its nothing to worry about. I am having on going tests done for high blood pressure as my consultant is convinced it a sympton of something rather then a course or a radom adnormality.
Good luck, Take care

it's normal to worry - but the good thing is that your getting it looked at while it's 'slightly' abnormal and once you know the cause you can get treatment sooner rather than later and get it all sorted.

It could just be that you have slightly raised levels of uric acid. It's nothing to worry about, I had it from about 7 months with my 1st pregnancy. The best thing you can do, is request your Dr gives you a call to discuss this properly! Alternatively, speak to your midwife. xx
despite google searches, if it is only just abnormal it probably means nothing. however, since you complained of the pain, it could be something as "simple" as gall stones. these can be reduced with change of diet, but if you are found to have them, the doc will discuss your options with them. routinely, pregnancy will not screen you for any liver tests, except Hep B, and you should have signed your consent for this, and been aware you were having it (usually done around 16 weeks). it could be that your liver tests - had they have been done- were abnormal, but usually they right themselves pretty quick after delivery.
have they done any further tests since you had the abnormal one?
try not to worry, and when you go, make sure you write a list of questions to make sure you get the answers you need!
