Causes of high aspartate aminotransferase

With the improvement of quality of life, more and more patients have high aspartate aminotransferase levels. Elevated transaminase is an indication of liver damage. Transaminase is mainly present in the liver, which is the body's detoxification tool. In addition, there are a large number of transaminases in the heart and skeletal muscles. If the liver cells are damaged or necrotic, the aspartate aminotransferase level in the human blood will increase, which needs to attract everyone's attention.

There are many manifestations of elevated transaminase. If you are usually afraid of cold, often have fever, nausea and vomiting, vaguely feel liver pain, and feel tired, then you should consider whether the transaminase is elevated. There are many reasons for elevated aspartate aminotransferase. The following is a detailed introduction to the relevant content of high aspartate aminotransferase, which I hope will help your physical recovery.

Methods/Steps

1. Viral hepatitis This is the most common disease that causes increased transaminase. All types of acute and chronic viral hepatitis can lead to increased transaminase.

2. Toxic hepatitis: Many drugs and chemical agents can cause elevated transaminase levels, but after drug withdrawal, transaminase levels can return to normal.

3. People who drink a lot or for a long time will also have elevated alanine aminotransferase.

4. When cirrhosis and liver cancer are active, transaminase levels are higher than normal and should be actively treated.

5. Acute attacks of cholecystitis and cholelithiasis caused by biliary diseases often cause fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, and elevated blood bilirubin and transaminase.

6. In cases of acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and heart failure due to heart disease, both alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase are elevated, and patients often have chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, and edema. Cardiac examination showed positive signs and abnormal electrocardiogram.

7. Certain other infectious diseases, such as pneumonia, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, infectious mononucleosis, etc., have elevated transaminase levels, but these diseases each have typical clinical manifestations and can be diagnosed with the help of laboratory tests. In addition, transient elevations of transaminases may also occur in acute soft tissue injuries, strenuous exercise, and pregnancy.

Everyone knows the reasons for high aspartate aminotransferase, so what we need to remind everyone is to try not to stay up late, drink less alcohol, eat less greasy food, pay more attention to rest, and try to protect your liver to make your body healthier.
