What is the reason for high aspartate aminotransferase

If the aspartate aminotransferase is high, you need to pay attention to the correct treatment and coping methods, and at the same time understand the causes. Common liver and gallbladder diseases include cirrhosis, fatty liver, alcoholic liver, etc., which will cause the transaminase to increase, so you need to pay attention to treatment.

1. Aspartate aminotransferase exists in the mitochondria of liver cells. Therefore, a high level of aspartate aminotransferase indicates a more serious condition and liver cell damage, which is generally seen in various hepatitis B, cirrhosis, fatty liver, alcoholic liver and other liver and gallbladder diseases.

2. However, some external factors can also cause a transient increase in aspartate aminotransferase, such as exercise, eating, drinking, staying up late, and medication (anti-inflammatory drugs are antibiotics, but cold medicines are not anti-inflammatory drugs, they must be distinguished, but whether it is cold medicine or anti-inflammatory medicine, taking it may cause high aspartate aminotransferase), etc. These situations should be ruled out and the patient should be rechecked. If the aspartate aminotransferase continues to increase, further examination should be performed, such as testing the two-pair-and-a-half test for hepatitis B, to determine the cause of the high aspartate aminotransferase and provide symptomatic treatment.

3. High aspartate aminotransferase indicates liver damage and is a sign that treatment is needed. Alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase are mainly distributed in the hepatocytes of the liver. When liver cells are damaged, transaminase will be released into the blood, so the transaminase level in the blood test will be high. The degree of elevation of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase is consistent with the degree of liver cell damage. If not treated promptly, the virus will slowly cause massive liver cell death, the disease will gradually worsen, and eventually develop into cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with high aspartate aminotransferase levels go to the hospital for another check-up to see if it is caused by a disease. If it is caused by a disease, timely treatment must be given.

4. Aspartate aminotransferase is an important indicator of the degree of liver damage. If it is not treated promptly, the liver damage will become more and more serious, and will gradually develop along the path of "abnormal liver function - liver dysfunction - cirrhosis - liver failure - death". Therefore, when patients have high aspartate aminotransferase levels, they must pay attention to rest, eat a light and non-irritating diet, relax, and do some appropriate physical exercise to improve their immunity. Go to the hospital for a physical examination in time if the aspartate aminotransferase is still high. A liver ultrasound is needed to confirm the extent of liver damage and provide symptomatic treatment. When appropriate, treatment to lower enzymes, protect the liver and promote bile secretion should be given.
