A member asked:
Elevated alt (98) one year after cholecystectomy. also in early pregnancy (8 weeks). is this normal?

No: its not normal and you should have more (liver function) testing! There can be liver function (enzyme) abnormalities associated with Pregnancy but more data is needed. See your Primary Care Provider! Hope this helps! Dr Z
