Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 27 weeks pregnant and have been detected with high SGPT 117. I have full body itiching which is getting worse, and my doctor has prescribed me Udiliv 300 mg five times a day for one month. Is it safe to take Udiliv 300 mg five times?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Based on the description you mentioned, it appears that you have this condition called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), which can cause elevated liver enzymes or bilirubin along with itching. But however, it is important to rule out other causes of elevated liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, ALP) like hepatitis, HELLP syndrome (syndrome of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count). Each condition can have different implications in pregnancy. Please check for your blood pressure records, platelets count, coagulation profile, viral markers (HBsAg, Anti HCV, HEV IgG and IgM). It would have been good if you could share the reports of your liver function tests and ultrasound abdomen (for liver) and also given details about any other symptoms you have faced like any stool or urine color changes, skin or eyes color changes, any fever, any raised blood pressure records, or any skin rashes (excluding that caused due to scratching because of itching). And yes, Udiliv is totally safe in pregnancy and has shown to improve the symptoms and also the level of liver enzymes in ICP. Please take vitamin K supplements to avoid any coagulation defects.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
