Is ALT 96 serious?

Alanine aminotransferase exists in the liver, heart, skeletal muscles, including kidneys and other organs. The most important thing is that it may cause damage to liver cells and liver cell lesions. However, not all pathological reasons will lead to elevated alanine aminotransferase, including physiological factors. For example, it will be slightly elevated after intense physical exercise or during pregnancy.

Alanine aminotransferase is present in the cells of organs such as the liver, heart, skeletal muscle and kidney. The amount of alanine aminotransferase contained in each organ is the highest in liver cells. Therefore, whenever liver cells are damaged, such as when they degenerate or necrotize, the alanine aminotransferase in the liver cells is released into the blood, causing an increase in serum alanine aminotransferase. The most common cause of increased serum alanine aminotransferase is that serum alanine aminotransferase may be increased in the incubation period and acute onset period of viral hepatitis, as well as in latently infected persons, and it is often a single increase in alanine aminotransferase, which helps in the early diagnosis of various types of viral hepatitis.

However, when liver cells are damaged by other reasons, such as drug-induced hepatitis, fatty liver, liver damage caused by various internal and external toxins, intrahepatic cholestasis, liver abscess, etc., serum alanine aminotransferase can also increase. In addition, other organ diseases such as bile obstruction, pancreatic disease, hyperthyroidism, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, shock, etc. may also cause elevated serum alanine aminotransferase, but they are often accompanied by clinical symptoms of various diseases and abnormal laboratory tests, and rarely is a single alanine aminotransferase elevated.

Sometimes physiological changes can also increase serum transaminase, such as strenuous physical activity, women's pregnancy, etc., which may cause a slight increase. It is often a single serum transaminase increase, but it is usually a one-time increase. Therefore, the cause of a single increase in alanine aminotransferase is common in various types of viral hepatitis, but it is not unique to them. It should be considered comprehensively in combination with clinical consideration to see whether there are other intrahepatic or extrahepatic causes.

What are the Chinese patent medicines that can lower alanine aminotransferase?

A major feature of liver damage is elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT).

Therefore, the repair and regeneration of liver cells is the basic condition for the decrease of ALT.

Generally speaking, the therapies and drugs such as liver protection and liver protection drugs mostly refer to this.

At present, the following types of drugs have good clinical efficacy and are widely used: Schisandra chinensis preparations and their chemical preparations, bifendate; Sophora flavescens preparations, hepatitis-inducing needles;

Licorice extracts and preparations include glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizin needles; licorice preparations include licorice syrup and hanging tablets; Ligustrum lucidum extract includes Qiyu fruit acid tablets; silymarin preparations include Yiganling and Xilibin gum, etc.

The above drugs mainly promote liver cell regeneration and improve liver detoxification function.

It can remove fat deposits in the liver, improve liver metabolic function, and reduce alanine aminotransferase by reducing the escape of ALT from liver cells and accelerating the clearance of ALT from the blood. .
