What reason is transaminase elevated

summary

Transaminase is an essential "catalyst" in the process of human metabolism, which mainly exists in liver cells. When hepatocytes are damaged by inflammation, necrosis and poisoning, the transaminase will be released into the blood and the serum transaminase will rise. Usually, the main transaminase in physical examination is alanine aminotransferase (ALT). 1% of liver cell damage can double the concentration of ALT in blood. Therefore, ALT level can be more sensitive to monitor whether the liver is damaged.

What reason is transaminase elevated

First: viral hepatitis is a common disease causing high transaminase. Other types of hepatitis can also cause high transaminase.

Second: a variety of drugs and chemicals can cause high transaminase, but it can return to normal after withdrawal.

Third: the transaminase of the people who drink a lot or for a long time is high. Liver cirrhosis and liver cancer usually have high transaminase when liver cirrhosis is active.

matters needing attention

In addition to fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and jaundice, the acute attack of biliary diseases such as cholecystitis and cholelithiasis can also cause high blood bilirubin and transaminase.
