Three principles to follow when taking medicine for high transaminase

The level of transaminase in each person's physical examination results can tell whether a person's liver function is normal. Clinically, patients with liver disease usually have elevated transaminases. However, it should be noted that high transaminase levels do not necessarily mean that you have liver disease. A comprehensive examination such as B-ultrasound and five hepatitis B tests is needed to find out the cause of high transaminase levels so that effective treatment can be carried out. Usually patients with high transaminase levels will be treated with medication. Let’s look at the three principles to follow when taking medication for high transaminase levels.

How to treat high transaminase levels depends on the cause of the disease, and the treatment will be different depending on the cause. High transaminase levels in patients with liver disease generally mean that the patient's condition has worsened. Patients in this period must go to a professional hospital for a comprehensive examination in time. In addition to paying attention to checking other series of liver function indicators, patients with elevated transaminase levels should also undergo comprehensive examinations such as B-ultrasound, hepatitis B two-pair-half test, and alpha-fetoprotein test. Only in this way can the condition be truly diagnosed and then scientifically treated.

There are many kinds of liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs, but there are only a few truly effective ones. They must not be abused during treatment. It is necessary to find the real cause of the elevated transaminase and treat it accordingly to achieve better results. Patients should follow the following three principles during treatment and medication:

1. Choose correct and effective liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs to treat elevated transaminase levels caused by various causes. Effective drugs are mainly traditional Chinese medicines and extracts of their active ingredients. Generally, drugs containing chemical ingredients such as schisandra chinensis C, glycyrrhizic acid, oleanolic acid, and silymarin are selected. As long as patients use enzyme-lowering drugs correctly, transaminases can be effectively controlled.

2. The course of treatment must be guaranteed. When enzyme-lowering drugs restore transaminase to normal, the dosage of enzyme-lowering drugs should be gradually reduced, and sudden discontinuation of the drug should be avoided. The course of treatment with enzyme-lowering drugs should be more than 1 year, and even if liver function returns to normal, consolidation treatment should be maintained at the lowest level.

3. While protecting the liver and reducing enzymes, it is necessary to take "fundamental" measures to address the cause of the disease. In short, in order to solve the problem of high transaminase levels, we must find out the reasons and prescribe the right medicine to achieve results.

Dietary taboos for high transaminase

High transaminase levels in hepatitis B patients can cause liver and gallbladder qi disorders and weakened metabolic function. Therefore, foods that irritate the liver and are difficult to digest can not only increase the burden on the liver, but are also not conducive to the recovery of the disease and can easily aggravate its development. Patients with high transaminase levels should stay away from alcohol, spicy, fried, and irritating foods, and should not eat high-fat, high-sugar, and high-cholesterol foods to reduce the burden on the liver.
