Question
The liver function test results show that the glutamic-pyruvate transaminase index is 51 (higher than the normal range of 8-38), and the alkaline phosphatase index is 213 (higher than the normal range of 42-121). What are the possible causes of elevated transaminases, and how should treatment and lifestyle adjustments be made?
Answer
Elevated transaminases can have various causes, including fatty liver, alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, or liver damage caused by medication. The specific cause needs further diagnosis and confirmation. During the treatment process, attention should be paid to rest, improving poor lifestyle and dietary habits, such as quitting alcohol, moderate exercise, and consuming high-quality protein, fruits, and vegetables to achieve dietary balance. It is recommended to consult a doctor after the examination to determine whether further treatment measures are needed.
