Elevated transaminases
Their increase
was observed in viral hepatitis, toxic hepatitis, sometimes in cases of
obstruction of the common bile duct.
One can note
their increase in liver cirrhosis, primary or secondary liver cancer in acute
pancreatitis and myocardial infarction.
Transaminases
SGPT (or ALT) and SGOT (or AST). SGPT is glutamic pyruvic transaminase, also
called alanine aminotransferase
. SGOT is
oxalacétique.encore called glutamic transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase
The AST is
present in the muscles which the myocardium, kidneys, brain, and liver.
ALT is present
in the CYTOPLASM (qv) in liver cells, but also in the muscles.
The AST can be
falsely elevated when taking too much vitamin C, and aminosalicylic acid,
erythromycin, and when the diet is rich in sucrose
An AST / ALT>
2 report is suggestive of acute alcoholic hepatitis, taking paracetamol, a
disease WILSON (qv).
An AST / ALT>
1 ratio can be observed in any liver disease cirrhosis stage
A significant
increase in transaminases (> 10 times or 20 times normal) may be related
- An acute viral
hepatitis,
- Drug-induced
hepatitis,
- Toxic
hepatitis,
- Autoimmune
hepatitis,
- A ISCHEMIA
(qv) in the liver
- Migration of a
calculation of the bile ducts
Cholangitis-to
Initialz stage
- Budd-Chiari.
Moderate elevation
(<10-fold) can be compared with many liver disease:
- All hepatitis
(A, B, C)
- Alcoholic
hepatitis
- Some viral
diseases such as: HERPES (qv)
the
CYTOMEGALOVIRUS the virus EPSTEIN-BARR (see these terms)
- The FATTY (qv)
- Toxic
(industrial or herbal)
- Genetic
Diseases:
Wilson disease,
HEMOCHROMATOSIS
(see these terms)
- Celiac disease
- Muscle
diseases (especially hereditary metabolic diseases
Polymyositis-
- Intense
physical exercise
Food-supercharging
-The
medicalization (taking too many drugs)
