What should be paid attention to in a diet high in alanine aminotransferase

Diet for hepatitis patients.

1. Avoid spicy.

Spicy food is easy to cause dampness and heat in the digestive tract, damp heat inclusion, liver and gallbladder qi imbalance, and weakened digestive function. Therefore, spicy foods should be avoided.

2. Avoid smoking. Smoke contains a variety of toxic substances, which can damage liver function and inhibit liver cell regeneration and repair. Therefore, people with liver disease must quit smoking.

3. Avoid alcohol. Not suitable for drinking: 90% of alcohol should be metabolized in the liver, alcohol can interfere with the normal enzyme system of liver cells, so it directly damages liver cells and makes liver cells necrosis.

Patients with acute or chronic active hepatitis can cause recurrent or change in the condition even if they drink a small amount of alcohol.

4. Avoid processed foods.

Eat less canned or bottled beverages and food. This is due to the fact that preservatives are often added to canned and bottled beverages and foods, which are more or less toxic to the liver.

5. Avoid abuse of hormones and antibiotics.

It is a drug that is three parts poisonous, and the drug has a lot of damage to the liver and kidney, and patients with liver disease must use the drug rationally under the correct guidance of the doctor.

6. Avoid indiscriminate use of supplements.

Balanced diet is the basic condition for maintaining good health, such as improper nourishment, dysfunction of internal organs, and breaking the balance, which will affect health.

7. Avoid eating too much protein diet.

For patients with severe hepatitis, the digestion and absorption function is reduced due to the edema of the gastric mucosa, the thickening and shortening of the villi of the small intestine, and the imbalance of bile secretion. If you eat too many high-protein foods such as eggs, soft-shelled turtles, and lean meat, it can cause indigestion and bloating.

The normal reference value for alanine aminotransferase is 0 40 u l. Above 40 units is considered elevated alanine aminotransferase.

Alanine aminotransferase is mainly found in the hepatocytoplasm, and the intracellular concentration is 1000-3000 times higher than that in serum. As little as 1% of hepatocytes are destroyed, serum enzymes can be doubled. Therefore, alanine aminotransferase is recommended by the World Health Organization as the most sensitive test for liver damage.

If the serum value of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) exceeds the upper limit of normal by 2 to 3 times and persists for more than two weeks, it indicates the possibility of hepatobiliary disease, but liver damage such as alcoholism and chemical poisoning must be ruled out; Exposure to chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride, certain heavy metals, arsenic, etc. can cause toxic hepatitis) and physiological conditions, such as overwork, strenuous activities (lactic acid is produced and accumulated in large quantities in the body, making the body relatively hypoxic and hypoglycemic, resulting in increased liver cell membrane permeability, causing elevated aminotransferases) during menstruation, etc., may temporarily increase aminotransferases.

Elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) should be determined based on relevant examinations, history, symptoms, and signs. Antiviral therapy should be given when alanine aminotransferase is elevated to more than 2 times the upper limit of normal in patients with hepatitis B. The higher the aminotransferase level, the more active the immune function in the patient's body and the better the antiviral** effect.

This is the best time for hepatitis B antiviral**.

Hello, this item is a little high and has little clinical significance. Drugs, alcohol, and viruses can all cause elevated aminotransferases, and if you are not a patient with liver disease, you can live a normal diet. I hope my answer will help you.

The increase in transaminases indicates that your liver cells are necrosis and need to be strengthened, so you should strengthen your rest and eat some light food.

If there is a failure in the physical examination, we can replace it.

What should I do if the aminotransferases are high?

1. First of all, we should go to a regular hospital to check the B-ultrasound and liver function, and then comprehensively analyze the medical history, symptoms, and signs. Sometimes we also need to check the antigen and antibodies of various viral hepatitis diseases, such as hepatitis B two and a half and hepatitis C antibodies.

However, we cannot judge the severity of the disease by the level of aminotransferases, because for severe hepatitis, there may be fewer surviving liver cells and very few aminotransferases released into the blood, and ALT decreases as the disease worsens.

2. Secondly, after a complete examination to rule out viral hepatitis, we should combine the medical history to see if there is a history of long-term drinking or irregular diet, and then combine B ultrasound to see if there is alcoholic hepatitis or fatty liver.

3. When it is diagnosed that the aminotransferases are elevated due to non-liver diseases, we should pay attention to staying up less late and resting more, and eating less greasy and easy-to-fire foods in our daily diet. There is also a need to stop drugs that damage the liver, if it is a special situation and cannot be stopped, you can add some hepatoprotective drugs appropriately to reduce the damage to the liver.

To sum up, in addition to the disease, high aminotransferases can also be induced by daily diet, so in the process of reducing aminotransferases**, drugs** and maintenance in life should be synchronized.

Of course, the elevated aminotransferases must be normal, otherwise, it will develop into liver cirrhosis in the long run, and you need to further examine to understand the situation, such as B ultrasound examination, DNA virus quantification, etc., pay attention to avoid smoking and drinking, not staying up late, living a regular life, and eating more high-protein foods.
