Normal transaminase value

With the continuous improvement of modernization, people's quality of life is also constantly improving, and people's pace of life is also constantly accelerating. It is precisely because of this situation that some things people do are also more important, and this transaminase is one of them, but how many people know what the normal value of this transaminase is? This is also a test for everyone.

As for the normal value of this transaminase, there are actually many similar things in society, so you don’t need to worry too much. Below is some information about the normal value of this transaminase, and I hope you can make good use of it.

1. Normal value of aspartate aminotransferase

The English abbreviation of aspartate aminotransferase is GOT or AST, which is an important indicator of liver function test - a type of transaminase. The highest content of aspartate aminotransferase is in myocardial cells, but its serum concentration may also increase when the liver is damaged. It is generally used as an auxiliary examination for myocardial infarction and myocarditis in clinical practice.

The normal value of aspartate aminotransferase is 0-40μ/L. When alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is significantly elevated and the aspartate (AST)/alanine (ALT) ratio is >1, it indicates damage to the liver parenchyma.

2. Normal value of alanine aminotransferase

The main transaminase examined in liver function tests is alanine aminotransferase (ALT or GPT). 1% damage to liver cells can double the concentration of ALT in the blood. Therefore, ALT levels can sensitively monitor whether the liver is damaged. Alanine aminotransferase levels between 0 and 40 μ/L are normal. If it is outside the normal range, the doctor will recommend another check to rule out the possibility of errors caused by factors such as laboratory equipment failure and operating errors.

If the alanine aminotransferase level is still high, it is most likely caused by viral hepatitis or other liver disease. However, to determine whether it is viral hepatitis, other tests are needed, combined with a comprehensive analysis of medical history, symptoms, and physical signs. For hepatitis B patients, if ALT is greater than twice the normal value, antiviral treatment is needed to prevent chronic hepatitis B from developing into cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Through the above understanding and introduction, I believe everyone can have a certain understanding of the normal value of this transaminase. At the same time, I hope that everyone can get help from the above knowledge. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can do more relevant information in daily life. At the same time, I also hope that everyone can read more related books.
