I am 4 months pregnant and was taking 100 mg iron tablets with no issues. After moving to a new city, my new doctor prescribed 500 mg iron tablets. Within 15 days, my LFT levels have increased dramatically, reaching levels similar to primary liver cirrhosis. My recent liver function test report: SGOT: 193 U/L SGPT: 257 U/L GGT: 65 U/L ALP: 338 U/L Direct Bilirubin: 0.60 mg/dL

High liver enzymes could be due to iron toxicity or pregnancy related liver changes. Stop current iron and consult gynecologist. Consider LFT monitoring.
