What is the reason for high alanine aminotransferase

summary

High alanine aminotransferase will cause a very obvious change in the patient's physical condition. For patients, the high alanine aminotransferase is often caused by some pathological changes in the liver. Let's talk about the causes of high alanine aminotransferase.

What is the reason for high alanine aminotransferase

First: the high level of GPT and ALT is a common phenomenon in clinic. Liver is the largest detoxification organ of human body, whether the organ is normal or not is very important to human body. Elevated GPT is an important indicator of liver function problems. Among the common factors, all kinds of hepatitis can cause the increase of GPT, which is caused by the destruction of the liver.

Second, there are many reasons for the high level of alanine aminotransferase, such as: tumor growth in the body, acute hepatitis, taking drugs (especially drugs that damage the liver), long-term drinking or drinking a large dose at a time, as well as heart failure and fever in some biliary tract diseases and heart diseases, which can cause the high level of alanine aminotransferase.

Third: viral hepatitis, which is the most common disease causing elevated ALT, all kinds of acute and chronic viral hepatitis can lead to elevated 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.

matters needing attention

The reason of high alanine aminotransferase can be seen from the above, there are many factors leading to its occurrence, for patients, the most important concern is how to make the content of alanine aminotransferase return to normal level, so patients can go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will make the most reasonable diagnosis.
