If liver disease occurs, the patient will find that his or her transaminase level is relatively high when he or she goes to the hospital for a check-up. Why does the transaminase level appear high? In fact, this is because there is a problem with liver metabolism, or the liver cannot work normally, which causes an increase in the amount of transaminase. Next, let’s talk about the situations that can cause transaminase levels to increase. 1. Transaminase levels are normal, but liver damage persists. It is seen in some hepatitis patients, such as the so-called chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. These people have always had positive hepatitis B virus indicators, but their transaminase levels have never been elevated. However, if a liver biopsy is performed on such patients, it can be found that the liver's inflammatory response is very serious. Some have already developed fibrosis, or even cirrhosis and liver cancer. There are also many acute and chronic hepatitis C patients who have similar conditions. 2. The transaminase level is very high, but it is only temporary liver damage. It will not cause a great impact on liver function, and the consequences are not very serious, such as taking certain drugs that are highly toxic to the liver. 3. The jaundice is very severe, but the transaminase level is not high or even normal. 4. Some patients with cirrhosis and liver cancer, although they have advanced liver disease and poor liver function, have normal transaminase levels. 5. Transaminase is abnormal for a long time, but the level is not high. This is more common in patients with chronic hepatitis, including chronic hepatitis B and C, autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis after long-term and heavy drinking, etc. 6. Finally, there is another type of modern civilization disease, namely fatty liver, which is manifested by a mild increase in transaminase, generally not exceeding 100 units. People with this disease are generally overweight, or seriously overweight. In addition to the above-mentioned transaminase symptoms, there are two other transaminases referred to as transaminases in medicine, namely "alanine aminotransferase" and "aspartate aminotransferase", called ALT and AST. If both are relatively high, and the AST level exceeds that of ALT, it generally indicates that liver cell damage is more serious, and is particularly common in alcoholic hepatitis. |
