Hello, I am 28 weeks pregnant and was taking aciphex for heartburn (rx d by my OB). I had screening labs done for my visit, ALT elevated, TBili normal, I had a few episodes of clay colored stools. I have no other symptoms whatsoever, no abd pain, fever, nothing. All other labs normal, incl platelets. I emailed my OB, but do you think I have/had drug induced hepatitis? I m concerned about preeclampsia. This is my first pregnancy. Thank you.
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. You should have mentioned the exact value of increase in ALT levels, since if it is more than Food times normal then it may be due to acute viral hepatitis, or Chat Doctor.  If they are slightly elevated it may be due to fatty liver only. Preeclampsia is different situation in which there is high blood pressure. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
