Causes of high glutamate aminotransferase

If your body's glutamate aminotransferase is high, it means that your body will cause serious damage, especially to your liver and other organs, which will have a great impact and damage. Therefore, when this symptom occurs, many patients must pay attention to it. First of all, we must understand what causes it? The reasons are introduced in detail below. You can see the answer below.

1. Viral hepatitis is the most common cause of elevated ALT levels. CPT can be elevated in patients with all types of acute and chronic viral hepatitis, but the extent of the increase is not proportional to the degree of liver damage. The severity of the disease cannot be judged by the high or low CPT value.

2. Heart disease Acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and heart failure (myocardial failure) are also causes of elevated alanine aminotransferase and aspartate alanine aminotransferase. Patients often have chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and edema. Cardiac examination showed positive signs and abnormal electrocardiogram.

3. Drinking large amounts of alcohol or drinking for a long time can also cause high levels of alanine aminotransferase. In fact, many liver diseases are caused by excessive drinking. Since the liver itself has no nerves, liver disease does not cause pain and early symptoms of liver disease are difficult to detect. Therefore, patients with high alanine aminotransferase levels are not likely to find symptoms in the early stages of the disease.

4. Other reasons. There are many reasons for high alanine aminotransferase levels. For example, if you exercised, drank alcohol, or slept late the day before your blood was drawn, these can all lead to high alanine aminotransferase levels.

If the glutamate aminotransferase level is high, you must pay attention to it. Not only should you pay special attention to your diet, but in order not to affect your physical health, it is best to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to see what the cause is. Then, use the correct treatment method, adjust your mood, and pay attention to rest so that you can recover as soon as possible.
