Hello,

First of all, do not worry about the results. In pregnancy there are many blood parameters that show rise which is considered normal during pregnancy. Although apart from that it can be due to specific food or infection or due to some medicines. The levels are not high, there is slight rise which is not a serious cause of concern.

I suggest you visit the gynecologist she is under observation currently. Do not take any medicines without consulting your gynecologist. Follow her advice and do regular visits as per the doctor suggests through out the pregnancy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Manisha Auradkar, General & Family Physician
