I am 33 weeks pregnant and was taking Udiliv 300 for high liver enzymes and high bile acids, which have now improved, but a recent scan shows a swollen liver; could my symptoms indicate a pregnancy-related liver condition (obstetric cholestasis) or another liver disease, and can liver swelling occur with this condition?
It is very reassuring that your bile acids and liver enzymes have improved with Udiliv 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid). While obstetric cholestasis is the likely cause of your initial symptoms, noticeable liver swelling is not typically a standard feature of this condition alone. Sometimes, mild liver changes can occur, but it is important to rule out other pregnancy-related conditions, such as HELLP syndrome, or other liver issues. I gently recommend discussing these scan findings with your obstetrician. They will likely monitor your blood pressure, blood tests, and baby closely to ensure you both remain safe and healthy.
