Is transaminase 41 serious?

The increase in transaminase is due to damage to the internal organs, so there will be different degrees of increase. We must first have a correct understanding and knowledge of this and choose appropriate and standardized methods for treatment. In addition, this situation also indicates hepatitis and the active stage of chronic hepatitis. If it is caused by viral hepatitis such as hepatitis B, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, etc., this is also the main reason for the high transaminase. According to the level, choose the appropriate method for examination and treatment.

Clinical significance

Increased transaminase often indicates liver damage, and the clinical significance of different degrees of increased transaminase varies. Director Nie will analyze and explain the clinical significance of increased transaminase below:

The clinical significance of mild increase in transaminase: a variety of diseases can cause mild increase in transaminase, such as toxic shock, influenza, rheumatic myocarditis, pulmonary tuberculosis, congested liver, reticulocytosis acute pancreatitis, cholecystitis, rheumatic active heart disease, nutritional liver disease, advanced schistosomiasis prostatic hypertrophy, polycystic liver, antimony poisoning, etc.

The clinical significance of moderate increase in transaminase: moderate increase in transaminase often indicates hepatitis, such as active chronic hepatitis, compensated cirrhosis, obstructive jaundice, chronic hepatitis, diffuse liver cancer, acute rheumatic fever, myocardial infarction, etc.

The clinical significance of a significant increase in transaminase levels: Acute infectious hepatitis and serum hepatitis can cause a significant increase in transaminase levels. At this time, timely treatment should be carried out to prevent the disease from developing into a serious condition.

harm

Transaminase is mainly present in liver cells, including alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. When liver cells become inflamed or necrotic, transaminase is released into the body, causing an increase in transaminase concentration. Therefore, high transaminases generally indicate liver damage. High transaminase levels are common in patients with liver disease, and the hazards of high transaminase levels vary among different patients with liver disease.

If the elevation of transaminase is caused by viral hepatitis (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis A, hepatitis C, etc.), high transaminase often indicates inflammatory activity in the liver and accompanied by liver damage, and antiviral treatment is needed as soon as possible. If high transaminase levels are not treated promptly, it may lead to continued liver damage and subsequent cirrhosis. In China, those most at risk from high transaminase levels are patients with viral hepatitis.

If the elevation of transaminase is caused by cirrhosis or liver cancer, it means that the patient's condition has worsened or become unstable. At the same time, cirrhosis and liver cancer are prone to cause complications, which may be life-threatening if not treated in time.

If alcoholic liver or fatty liver causes elevated transaminase levels and is not treated, it will lead to continued liver damage and eventually cirrhosis and liver cancer.
