What to do if liver disease and transaminase are high

Liver disease is an existence that cannot be ignored at present. There are many diseases that can cause liver disease. After the disease occurs, we need to understand and recognize it, and choose the appropriate method to receive treatment. However, when we encounter high liver disease transaminase, we must choose the correct treatment plan according to the type of liver disease. Generally, the treatment effect is achieved through medication and a course of treatment.

treat

How to treat high transaminase levels depends on the cause of the disease, and the treatment will be different depending on the cause. High transaminase levels in patients with liver disease generally mean that the patient's condition has worsened. Patients in this period must go to a professional hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. In addition to paying attention to checking other series of liver function indicators, patients with elevated transaminase levels should also undergo comprehensive examinations such as B-ultrasound, hepatitis B two-pair-half test, and alpha-fetoprotein test. Only in this way can the condition be truly diagnosed and then scientifically treated.

1. Choose correct and effective liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs to treat elevated transaminase levels caused by various causes. Effective drugs are mainly traditional Chinese medicines and extracts of their active ingredients. Generally, drugs containing chemical ingredients such as schisandra chinensis C, glycyrrhizic acid, oleanolic acid, and silymarin are selected. As long as patients use enzyme-lowering drugs correctly, transaminases can be effectively controlled.

2. The course of treatment must be guaranteed. When enzyme-lowering drugs restore transaminase to normal, the dosage of enzyme-lowering drugs should be gradually reduced, and sudden discontinuation of the drug should be avoided. The course of treatment with enzyme-lowering drugs should be more than 1 year, and even if liver function returns to normal, consolidation treatment should be maintained at the lowest level.

3. While protecting the liver and reducing enzymes, it is necessary to take "fundamental" measures to address the cause of the disease. In short, in order to solve the problem of high transaminase levels, we must find out the reasons and prescribe the right medicine to achieve results.

examine

Clinically, there are many reasons that can cause high transaminase levels, both intrahepatic and extrahepatic, and both disease factors and non-disease factors. Therefore, the tests that need to be done when the transaminase is high are also diverse. Specifically, there are the following two types of tests that need to be done when the transaminase is high.

Virological examination

People with high transaminase levels need to go to a regular large hospital to have hepatitis B virus index tests, such as hepatitis B two-to-a-half test, liver function indexes, etc., to determine whether they have infectious viral hepatitis.
