Patient's question:
Male, 24 years old. Three years ago, a serum test showed no abnormalities. Today, a serum test revealed; Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was measured as 92.7 U/L, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) as 56.1 mmol/L, and Total bilirubin as 22.0 umol/L.Doctor's answer:
Your ALT is more than twice the normal value, and your AST and total bilirubin are slightly higher than the normal range. There are many reasons that can cause elevated transaminase levels, such as intense exercise, excessive stress, or frequent consumption of greasy, spicy foods, heavy alcohol consumption, and other certain infectious diseases. Taking medication is also one of the main reasons for elevated transaminase levels, but viral hepatitis is a particularly important cause. It is recommended that you have a comprehensive liver function test and an ultrasound examination at a regular hospital to confirm if there is inflammation in the liver. If there is inflammation, follow the doctor's advice for treatment based on the test results. If there is no inflammation, pay attention not to overexert yourself and maintain a light diet.
