Patient's question:
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is elevated to 141, and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is at 150. What are the signs of this?Doctor's answer:
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevations indicate cellular damage or increased cell membrane permeability, releasing into the bloodstream. ALT is highly concentrated in the liver, while AST is more abundant in myocardial cells. Based solely on these two indicators, it is difficult to draw conclusions, so clinical symptoms should be integrated for analysis. AIDS patients have weakened immune function, making them more susceptible to hepatitis virus infections. There are many treatment methods for viral hepatitis, but due to varying patient symptoms, different treatment approaches are adopted. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
