What is the reason for high blood transaminase

In clinical examinations, the transaminase level is checked for many diseases. When the level is higher than the normal level, it indicates that there is something wrong with the body. If the blood transaminase value is too high, it will cause great harm to the body, so you should also pay attention to conditioning in daily life. High transaminase levels are related to many factors. In addition to physiological factors, what else could cause high blood transaminase levels?

1. Elevated transaminase levels indicate inflammatory damage to the liver, but if the values ​​are only slightly abnormal. Some bad habits in life, such as staying up late, overwork, mood swings, and colds can cause a slight increase in transaminase. It is recommended to check liver function again after one week. If the liver function is normal, no special treatment is required! If the indicators continue to rise or are abnormal, further examination is needed to rule out special liver diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, fatty hepatitis, drug-induced hepatitis, gallstones, etc.

2. There are many reasons for increased transaminase, including various acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver, liver cancer, myocarditis, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, taking some liver-damaging drugs, etc. Guidance: It is also possible for healthy people's transaminase levels to temporarily exceed the normal range. Vigorous exercise, excessive fatigue, recent consumption of greasy food, excessive drinking, etc. may cause the transaminase to be temporarily high. Therefore, this situation requires further testing to clarify the cause.

3. The normal value of transaminase is within 40. Transaminase is an essential "catalyst" in the human body's metabolic process and is mainly found in liver cells. When liver cells are damaged by inflammation, necrosis, poisoning, etc., transaminase will be released into the blood, causing an increase in serum transaminase levels. Usually, the main transaminase tested during a physical examination is alanine aminotransferase (ALT). 1% damage to liver cells can double the concentration of ALT in the blood. Therefore, ALT levels can sensitively monitor whether the liver is damaged.
