What are the reasons for high liver function transaminase test results?

Liver function is a very important health indicator for people. This indicator can reflect various health conditions of the body. Therefore, it is a very important health test item for people. Many people will find that the value of liver function transaminase is on the high side when testing it. Let’s take a look at the reasons why the liver function transaminase value is high? I hope everyone can understand.

Common causes of elevated transaminases include:

1. Viral hepatitis This is a common disease that causes high transaminase levels.

2. Many drugs and chemical agents can cause high levels of transaminase, but they will return to normal after stopping the medication.

3. Heart diseases, such as acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, heart failure, etc., can cause high levels of transaminase.

4. Acute attacks of biliary diseases such as cholecystitis and cholelithiasis may cause fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, etc., as well as elevated blood bilirubin and transaminase levels.

5. When liver cirrhosis and severe liver cirrhosis are active, elevated transaminases are usually present.

6. During pregnancy, the growth of the fetus will place a great burden on the pregnant woman's liver, resulting in high levels of transaminase.

7. Certain infectious diseases: influenza, measles, schistosomiasis, lobar pneumonia, tuberculosis and other diseases can also be the cause of elevated transaminase levels.

8. Non-pathological reasons: For example, strenuous exercise, excessive fatigue, eating greasy food before the examination, drinking, staying up late, etc., may cause mild high transaminase levels.

There are many reasons for a high alanine aminotransferase ratio. Therefore, if the alanine aminotransferase ratio is elevated, further examination should be conducted to find out the cause and take effective measures. Be careful not to make random guesses so as not to create unnecessary psychological burden.

In addition, fatigue may also increase transaminase.

For healthy people, the rise or fall of transaminase levels within the normal range does not mean that there is a problem with the liver, because transaminase is very sensitive and the transaminase levels of healthy people may fluctuate when checked at different times of the day.
