Mild itching with slightly elevated liver function tests in late pregnancy may be due to pregnancy-related liver changes, such as intrahepatic cholestasis (bile acids buildup in the liver). Continue taking Actibile 300 Tablet (Ursodeoxycholic acid) as prescribed and inform your obstetrician, who will monitor you and your baby. You do not need to consult a gastroenterologist unless liver enzymes rise significantly or symptoms worsen.
