Summary of physiological and biochemical changes in the liver during pregnancy:
Increased:
-Blood volume and cardiac ouput rise by 35%–50%.
-Alkaline phosphatase levels rise threefold or fourfold due to placental production.
-Clotting factor changes create a hypercoagulable state.
Decreased:
-Gallbladder contractility
-Hemoglobin
-Uric acid levels
-Albumin
-Total protein
-Antithrombin III concentrations.
No change:
-Liver aminotransferase levels
-Bilirubin level
-Prothrombin time
