"Doctor, please take a look. My report shows that the aminotransferase is elevated. Is it bad for liver?"
"It's okay, you are just a little higher, it should be transient. Pay attention to rest after going back and don't be too tired. Do you have the habit of drinking? If there is, you have to change it. Remember to check again."
Now many people have enhanced their health awareness. They will have regular physical examinations and will take their parents to physical examinations. Liver function is an important examination, and aminotransferase is closely related to liver health.
However, many people don’t understand it. They just heard others say that it is elevated, which means that the liver is not good. So when they see that the arrow on the report is up, they are very afraid that they have some liver disease. But in fact, it may not be as serious as you thought. Today I will talk to you about what happened.
| Does the increase in aminotransferase mean liver disease?
It is elevated, which may indeed be a signal of liver damage, but this is not absolutely . Elevation does not mean that you have liver disease, and may also be related to other reasons.
It can be divided into cereal grass and cereal grass. Generally, cereal alanine aminotransferase is a project to diagnose the parenchymal damage of hepatocytes.
Its increase may be pseudo-elevation . For example, it has always been normal and there is no underlying disease. A mild increase may be sham.
This increase is usually temporary and not continuous. The human body does not show any abnormalities . Some people may feel weak and do not want to eat greasy food . Many people only know about it during physical examinations.
This situation is generally related to factors such as diet and mood before the examination. Usually, it will return to normal after the subsequent examination. If it is a false increase, does not require special treatment . Pay attention to re-examination and adjust your lifestyle.
If it is a pathological cause, it should be taken seriously, but in addition to liver disease, it may also be a warning signal for other diseases.
Because it not only exists in the liver, but also in the heart and skeletal muscle cells, it may also be related to heart disease and skeletal disease . In addition, it is also related to bacterial and fungal infection of biliary tract disease .
, so it may not be caused by liver disease. To determine whether the liver is good, you should also combine indicators such as bilirubin . If there are also abnormal symptoms such as yellow eyes, spider nevus , then the possibility is very high, and further inspection is recommended in time.
| How to lower it to normal level?
Physiological:
does not require treatment, it will gradually return to normal. But you need to adjust your living habits and change your habits such as staying up late and drinking. For those who take medicine, be careful before the examination.
Pathological increase:
If it is caused by liver disease, regardless of whether it is viral hepatitis or other liver disease, it should be taken seriously and treated in a timely manner. Early detection and early treatment are reversible. Fatty liver, hepatitis B, etc. will increase the risk of cancer if it is delayed for a long time.
If it is caused by other diseases, it should also be taken seriously. Take relevant drugs and lower them to normal levels.
I would like to remind everyone that after discovering that it is raised, should not take liver protection medicine or liver protection tablets on your own to reduce its level . Be careful that it will harm the liver. Scientific methods should be used to protect the liver, and the treatment of liver disease should also be targeted at the cause. Blindly taking medicine can easily damage the liver . Moreover, taking medicine randomly reduces enzymes may also cause it to fluctuate repeatedly.
| Taking statin drug for a long time has caused an increase in aminotransferase. Should I stop the drug immediately?
statins are needed for many people with hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. Some people need to take it for a long time.
During this process, many patients will not worry about side effects or damage their liver. During this period, it was found that its level increased, and many people felt that it was liver damage. But through the above understanding, I believe everyone has already known that the two cannot be equated. But even so, many people are still worried that if they continue to take the medicine, their level will be higher, so they stopped the medicine without authorization.
study found that all drugs for serious illness may cause their levels to rise. Generally speaking, mostly occurs within three months after taking . This situation is more likely to occur in patients who drink a lot of alcohol in .
Generally speaking, this situation can usually return to normal after stopping the drug. However, it is wrong for patients with to stop taking without authorization. Some people do not continue to take it after stopping, which is not good for controlling blood lipids and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Whether or not the medication needs to be stopped depends on the individual. It depends on the amplitude of the increase of , and it depends on whether other liver function indicators also have abnormalities, and it also depends on whether the patient has active liver disease and so on.
Whether you can continue taking or stop taking the medicine, you must inform the doctor of your situation in a timely manner and make scientific and reasonable adjustments under his guidance. Also, pay attention to regular reviews.
In addition, people who take statins should also be reminded to avoid misunderstandings and do not take them because they are worried that it may have side effects. It is an important drug for preventing and treating cardiovascular diseases.
Through the above understanding, I believe that everyone has a further understanding of aminotransferase. Its level may not mean that it has a bad liver. Don’t scare yourself, it may be just transient and there is no need to treat it. If it is caused by a disease, don’t take medicine by yourself. Treat the cause and reduce it to the normal range. For people who take statins for a long time, they should check their liver function regularly. If they find that it is elevated, do not stop taking statins by themselves, and do not stop taking statins from now on. They should make scientific adjustments based on their own situation under the guidance of a doctor.
