Cause of elevated liver enzyme?
Elevated hepatic enzymes are responsible for many causes, including hepatitis most often. The level of liver enzymes usually increases in proportion to the level of hepatitis. However, there are cases of hepatitis very serious but the level of liver enzymes in the blood increased very little. Or there may be an increase in liver enzyme levels not related to hepatitis.
Elevated liver enzyme levels include liver causes and extra-hepatic causes. At the liver there are the following diseases: acute hepatitis caused by any cause are elevated liver enzymes, especially high rise, 7-8 times more normal or more; chronic hepatitis; Hepatitis leads to alcoholic cirrhosis, toxemia, malnutrition, liver cancer ...; congestion by worms, gravel.
Causes of the liver include: pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, acute gastritis; malaria, measles, dengue fever, blood infection; many chronic diseases; drug treatment; Due to heavy drinking, heavy pollution ...
What are the risk factors for high blood pressure?
Elevated liver enzyme levels reflect the condition of damaged liver cells, inflammation of the liver. When the liver enzyme increase of less than 2 times, the patient has almost no symptoms, if not tested is not known. At this stage, if you drink a lot of alcohol will be very dangerous because the amount of acetaldehyde that is produced by the use of alcohol will destroy the liver cells very strong, can damage the hepatitis B cell series. acute liver, hepatic coma, life-threatening.
High levels of liver enzymes, if not treated promptly, lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. Accordingly, high AST and ALT levels predict patients' life expectancy, increasing the mortality rate by 21-78%. If the AST doubles, it increases the risk of death by 32%; more than double the mortality rate of 78%. When the ALT doubles, it will increase the risk of death by 21% and more than double the risk of death by 59%.
