What is the reason of high alanine aminotransferase

summary

When many people go for a physical examination, they will find that the alanine aminotransferase is on the high side, which makes many people worried. Let's explain the reasons for the high alanine aminotransferase.

What is the reason of high alanine aminotransferase

Reason 1: viral hepatitis is the most common disease that causes elevated alanine aminotransferase alt. all kinds of acute and chronic viral hepatitis can cause elevated alanine aminotransferase alt. A variety of drugs and chemicals can cause ALT elevation in patients with toxic hepatitis, but ALT elevation can return to normal after withdrawal.

The second reason is that the ALT level of alanine aminotransferase is increased in those who drink a lot or for a long time. In life must not drink a lot, not only lead to increased enzyme content, but also lead to liver pressure is very big, many diseases will appear. When liver cirrhosis and liver cancer are active, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) usually increases, which should be treated actively.

Reason 3: when acute attack of biliary tract disease cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, often have fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, serum bilirubin and alanine aminotransferase ALT rise. Heart disease acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, heart failure, can make alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase increased, patients often have chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, edema. There were positive signs and abnormal ECG in cardiac examination.

matters needing attention

Injection of vaccines or drugs into muscle tissue, or strenuous exercise, may cause elevated alanine aminotransferase levels. And to maintain a good mood, do not eat stimulating food, actively participate in physical exercise, do not bedridden.
