Hii My wife is 33 weeks 4 days pregnant and we have done her Bio Acid Serum test done today and the report says it is 11.6 which is higher than the normal one. Please advice what should we do in this case.

Total bile acids are metabolized in the liver and can serve as a marker for normal liver function. Increases in serum bile acids are seen in patients with acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, liver sclerosis, liver cancer, and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy. In Obstetric Cholestasis, concentrations greater than 15 ?mol/L usually confirms the diagnosis in the absence of other hepatic disease. Itching is present. Bile acid concentrations greater than 40 ?mol/L have been associated with increased fetal risk. Please consult gynaecologist.
