What causes elevated alt

Alt is also known as the transaminase in our body. This transaminase generally lives in our liver and is critical to our liver's regulatory function. Most tests for liver and kidney function are conducted by checking the patient's blood. When the transaminase level rises, it is likely to cause hepatitis. So what causes the increase in Alt?

There are many reasons for the increase of transaminase, obesity, fatigue, fatty liver, lack of sleep, physical exercise, anger, cold, fever, excessive smoking and drinking, drugs, etc. can cause a slight increase in transaminase, toxic hepatitis such as various drugs and chemical reagents can cause ALT to increase; when cirrhosis and liver cancer are active, the ALT value will be significantly higher than the normal value; various acute and chronic viral hepatitis such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C are common causes of high ALT; people who drink alcohol for a long time or in large quantities will also have elevated ALT, various heart diseases such as acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis and heart failure can also cause high ALT. Some other diseases such as pneumonia, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and infectious mononucleosis may cause elevated ALT levels.

Don't take any medicine, get more rest, don't drink alcohol, don't catch a cold, and go to the hospital for a check-up in two weeks.

Elevated ALT indicates liver damage. It is related to viral hepatitis, fatty liver, drug-induced liver damage or alcohol stimulation. In addition, fatigue, overeating and poor rest can also lead to high transaminase.

Oral bifendate and tylosin were used to protect the liver and reduce enzymes. Five indicators of hepatitis B and liver and gallbladder ultrasound were further examined to confirm the cause of the disease. The doctor was advised to rest, quit smoking and drinking, and avoid spicy and greasy food. Regular follow-up

It is also possible for healthy people to have transaminase levels temporarily outside the normal range. Do not do strenuous exercise, overwork or eat greasy food. If you work overtime the night before the transaminase test, do not get enough sleep, or eat fried food for breakfast before the examination, the test results may be outside the normal range. If a person has just run a few laps on the playground and then immediately checks his transaminase level, the result may be above the normal range.
