A high transaminase of 1600 suggests more serious liver damage and possible risk of liver failure, requiring immediate hospitalization.
The normal range of aminotransferase is between 0 and 40 U/L. If the aminotransferase reaches 1600 U/L, the liver is more seriously damaged and may be at risk of liver failure, and the cause of the disease should be clarified and treated symptomatically.
Transaminases are mainly found in liver cells, and when liver cells are damaged, they will be released into the blood, thus causing high transaminases.
If the patient stays up late at night or drinks alcohol before the examination, it may cause transient elevation of transaminases, which may return to normal after a period of adjustment. If the transaminase is high for a long time, it suggests that there may be liver disease, such as acute viral hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, etc. Heart failure leads to hepatic stagnation, which may also lead to high transaminase.
Patients with high transaminases should quit smoking and drinking, develop good living and eating habits, and have a regular routine. If the transaminase is elevated to 1600, the patient should go to the hospital for further examination to clarify the cause of the disease.
