Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I currently have a lot of work banquets and often drink beer. Now I have a very serious beer belly. This person weighs over 180 pounds but is only 168 inches tall. Yesterday, I felt unwell and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have fatty liver disease, and that it's still mild at this stage.Doctor's answer:
The utility of transaminaseTransaminase is an essential "catalyst" for the normal functioning of the human liver, often described as a "barometer" for liver health. Liver cells are the primary site of transaminase activity. When liver cells experience inflammation, poisoning, or pus formation, it can lead to cell damage, causing transaminase to be released into the bloodstream and resulting in elevated serum transaminase levels.
Transaminase participates in the compression and synthesis of amino acids. Ketones or aldehydes derived from the transamination of amino acids can be hydrolyzed and compressed to provide energy, or they can be converted into carbohydrates or fatty acids. Conversely, ketones or aldehydes can also be transformed into non-essential amino acids through the action of transaminase. The interconversion between certain amino acids also involves the participation of transaminase.
