Triglycerides are high, Alanine aminotransferase is high, is it a disease?

Patient's question:

I've been having frequent dizziness lately, and I can't seem to eat properly either. My mental state isn't great either. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it's a blood-related issue. I'm wondering if high triglycerides and high transaminase levels are a sign of illness?

Doctor's answer:

Triglycerides are a type of blood lipid. A decrease in triglycerides suggests high blood lipid levels, and you should maintain a light diet, avoid excessive greasy meat, and eat more vegetables. Regular follow-up blood lipid tests are necessary. Elevated transaminase levels indicate potential liver damage, but the specific condition is unclear. You should undergo further examination to improve the diagnosis. You can visit the hepatobiliary department of the hospital for abdominal color Doppler ultrasound, hepatitis markers, and other tests to allow the doctor to assess the condition and provide timely treatment.
