Is high glutamyltransferase liver injury

summary

Glutamyltransferase is something we don't know very much, but it is very common to measure the concentration of glutamyltransferase in clinic, and it is very helpful for clinical diagnosis of a disease. Therefore, we should not ignore it just because we do not know glutamine transferase. Glutamine transferase is particularly important for the diagnosis of liver diseases. So what's the relationship between liver diseases and glutamine transferase? Today, let's talk about whether the elevated glutamine transferase has damage to the liver.

Is high glutamyltransferase liver injury

First of all, let's talk about where the transglutaminase comes from. Glutamine transferase exists in serum and all cells except muscle, so the distribution of glutamine transferase is very wide. However, the serum glutamine transferase mainly comes from the hepatobiliary system. Therefore, the increase or decrease of glutamine transferase has an impact on the liver.

Second: when will glutamine transferase rise? It is mainly when intrahepatic synthesis is high or bile excretion is blocked, glutamine transferase in serum will rise. For example, in patients with acute hepatitis, the level of serum glutamine transferase is moderately elevated. However, not all liver injuries cause elevated glutamyltransferase.

Third: Patients with chronic hepatitis, as well as cirrhosis of the inactive phase, serum glutamine transferase is normal, and did not rise. But my liver was damaged. Another point is that if chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, inactive serum glutamine transferase continues to rise, indicating the deterioration of the disease or disease began to move.

matters needing attention

So for liver disease and liver damage, serum glutamine transferase is a very good indicator. It can also improve the correct diagnosis rate of liver cancer and prevent misdiagnosis and loss of treatment. We should learn more about medical knowledge.
