Hello!
I am 31 weeks pregnant and two nights ago found myself really itchy all over. I had a midwife appointment the next day so mentioned it and she did a blood test for ICP and whatever else it may of been testing for.
I just had the following message from my doctor -
Your recent blood test is essentially normal. One of the liver enzymes (ALP) is borderline (should be <130 and is 131) but the rest of the liver/bile tests are normal. I would like you to have one further blood test in around 1 weeks times to recheck the liver function to make sure this hasn't changed.
I was wondering if anyone else had ever had this and it ended up being icp? I read online that it can take a while for it to show in blood tests after itching begins and have only been itchy a couple of days so now wondering given the borderline ALP if it could be leading to it?
anyone any experience of raised alp and what it meant?
thanks! X
