What is transammonia and why is it high in humans

It is the enzyme on the acid group that converts the amino group from one amino acid to another, which is essentially a protein.

Yes: Amino acid transamination reaction is an enzyme (protein)!!

Hello, high aminotransferases are not all hepatitis.

An elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) only indicates that the liver may have been damaged. In addition to hepatitis, many other diseases can cause elevated aminotransferases. The main ones are the following:

First, many tissues in the body contain aminotransferases, such as myocarditis and myocardial infarction, which can increase aspartate aminotransferases. Second, if there is biliary obstructive disease such as gallstones, the level of transaminases in the blood may be elevated due to gall stasis. In addition, for some people who don't seem to have a serious illness, there is also a possibility that long-term alcohol abuse can lead to alcoholic liver, or unreasonable diet may lead to fatty liver, resulting in high aminotransferases.

Exertion may also elevate aminotransferases.

For healthy people, an increase or decrease in aminotransferase levels within the normal range does not mean that there is something wrong with the liver, because aminotransferases are very sensitive, and aminotransferase levels can fluctuate at different times of the day in healthy people. In addition, aminotransferase levels in healthy people may temporarily exceed the normal range. Strenuous exercise, overexertion, or a recent history of fatty foods can cause transaminases to be temporarily high.

If you work overtime the night before the transaminase test, don't get a good night's sleep, or eat fried food for breakfast before the exam, the test results may be out of the normal range. A person who has just run a few laps on the playground immediately has his aminotransferase levels checked, and the results may also be higher than normal. If the aminotransferase level is elevated due to these conditions, just rest well and check it again after a while, and you will find that the aminotransferase level has returned to normal.

Another condition that can cause an increase in aminotransferases is to take drugs that can damage the liver when you are sick, such as erythromycin, tetracycline, sleeping pills, antipyretic analgesics, contraceptive pills, and traditional Chinese medicines such as banxia, betel nut, and green daisy. After these drugs are stopped, aminotransferase levels return to normal very quickly. In short, if you find that you have high aminotransferases, don't be too nervous, don't worry about serious liver disease, but you must also pay enough attention, rest well, and receive regular re-examination and ** in time.

Aminotransferases are often listed as a physical examination item, and some people are very panicked about high aminotransferases, so what is the problem with high aminotransferases?

Aminotransferases mainly include alanine aminotransferase (ALT, also known as alanine aminotransferase, GPT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST, also known as aspartate aminotransferase, GOT). Among them, ALT is mainly found in the liver, and AST is abundantly found in the heart, skeletal muscle, and other organs. When the cells of these tissues and organs are damaged, aminotransferases are released into the bloodstream, and serum aminotransferases are elevated.

Normal values for aminotransferases are usually 0 to 40 u l. Due to the different testing methods, instruments, etc., the test values vary from laboratory to laboratory. Blood aminotransferases are mildly elevated in healthy people and may vary at different times of the day.

For example, strenuous exercise, overwork, or eating greasy food before the test, taking certain medications, etc., may make transaminases temporarily mildly high. In these cases, rest well and do a test after a while, and the aminotransferase level may be normal. However, if aminotransferases continue to rise, it is necessary to pay attention.

High aminotransferases are common**There are several types:1Viral hepatitis:

It is a common disease that causes high aminotransferases, mainly including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, and some such as Epstein-Barr virus and cytomegalovirus, which can also cause elevated aminotransferases. Liver cirrhosis and liver cancer will also have high aminotransferases in some patients. 2.

Drug-induced liver damage: Certain drugs or chemical agents such as anti-tuberculosis drugs, chemotherapy drugs, erythromycin, sleeping pills, antipyretic analgesics, contraceptives, and some ** psoriasis Chinese medicines can cause liver cell damage. When these drugs are stopped, aminotransferase levels return to normal.

3.Alcoholic liver disease: long-term heavy alcohol consumption, generally referred to as more than 5 years, equivalent to ethanol 40 g daily for men and 20 g daily for women; or a history of heavy alcohol consumption within 2 weeks, equivalent to 80g of ethanol daily.

The conversion formula for ethanol amount (g) is = alcohol consumption (ml) Ethanol content (%) Fatty liver: alcoholism, obesity, three highs, and sedentary people are all likely to have fatty liver. 5.

Autoimmune hepatitis: common in women, often accompanied by other symptoms such as dry mouth, dry eyes, hair loss, photoallergy, joint pain, etc. 6.

Biliary tract diseases: such as cholecystitis and cholelithiasis, in addition to fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice and other conditions, it can also cause high aminotransferases and bilirubin. 7.

Heart disease: such as acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and heart failure, it can cause high aminotransferases. 8.

Other diseases, such as pneumonia, typhoid, infectious mononucleosis, leptospirosis, schistosomiasis, trematodiasis, malaria, etc., can also cause high aminotransferases.

In short, high aminotransferases are not necessarily a problem with the liver, do not blindly take enzyme-lowering drugs, find out the cause of their elevation, in order to be effective**.

We have a way to help with the physical examination that affects the entry.

Condition analysis: High aminotransferases are temporarily considered to be liver damage, and the possibility of jujube bruising is greater!! You can use salvia, yin stool cavity Chen, Qianghuo, Duhuo, psyllium, Ze Epsom and other decoctions, pay attention to the usual avoid overeating in the diet, less stool talk about eating fried, fried, puff pastry and pig skin, chicken skin, duck skin and other high-fat foods, pay attention to health and upward in the mood, pay attention to the urine and bowel movements, and have a good role in promoting the improvement of the disease.
