Elevated Liver Enzymes in Pregnancy

L J
I am 6w 2d pregnant and I just got my bt back showing elevated liver enzymes. They were tested because my skin started itchy all over a couple of days ago. My HCG levels are also very high-possibly twins, but U/S is booked for Oct 3rd. In addition, I have high blood pressure. Should I be concerned about the elevated liver enzymes? I have read about a condition in pregnancy that happens to 1% of women but usually in the last trimester.

I have heard of it but never so early on in pregnancy.  Have you discussed it with your doc?

Cholestasis of Pregnancy is the name of the possible condition. Has anyone heard of this?
