Elevated monoamine oxidase can be caused by physiologic factors such as prolonged late nights and alcohol abuse or pathologic factors such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. For the elevation caused by pathological factors, it is not possible to judge the degree of danger by only one indicator.
The normal value of monoamine oxidase is 12-40 U/mL, which is a commonly used clinical indicator for liver function. Physiologic factors such as prolonged late nights and alcohol abuse can damage liver cells and cause elevated monoamine oxidase in the blood due to the higher amount of monoamine oxidase in the liver cells. Elevation caused by physiological factors is not very serious and can be recovered by adjusting lifestyle habits.
Pathologic factors, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, can also cause elevated monoamine oxidase due to the death of liver cells. Monoamine oxidase is only indicative of disease, and should be combined with other tests such as imaging to determine the extent of the primary disease; its value does not directly reflect the degree of risk.
If you have elevated monoamine oxidase, you should go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations such as CT to identify the cause of the disease, and then take symptomatic treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
