Brief Answer:
Liver functions are almost normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached report. Your liver functions are almost normal. The itching during pregnancy is a common finding due to an extra stress on the liver functions. This usually subsides with application of coconut oil and avoiding hot and spicy foods. In case the itching is persistent then you can get ursodeoxycholic acid prescribed from your gynecologist for relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
