Diet: At this time, it is very important to stay away from alcohol or any over the counter drugs that can worsen liver function, such as ibuprofen. Natural, low-fat healthy diet will also help. More than anything, seeking competent care from a high risk obstetric specialist (perinatologist) will be very important.

Antioxidants: If you dont have a form of hepatitis that needs treatment during pregnancy you can take milk thistle. It has a powerfull antioxidants properties and can protect your liver better.If you had elevated enzymes because of hellp syndrome then there is nothing that can be done to prevent that from recurring.
