Hello and welcome to healthcare magic
Elevated SGPT is common in third trimester. The reasons are secretion of sgpt or similiar substances by placenta, increase of sgpt enzyme secretion by liver etc.
If the raised enzyme is not accompanied by itching, raised bilirubin or any other clinical signs of liver damage you need not worry.
Please do write back if you have any other queries.
