Increased leucine aminopeptidase is mainly seen in liver and kidney diseases, but also in malignant tumors of other organs.
1. Liver leucine aminopeptidase is rich in leucine aminopeptidase, which can be increased when bile duct obstruction is caused by primary liver diseases or other digestive tract diseases. For example, primary liver cancer combined with bile duct obstruction, cholangiocarcinoma, jugular abdominal carcinoma, pancreatic head carcinoma and so on.
2. Kidney disease: when leucine aminopeptidase is increased in urine, it is necessary to be alert to kidney injury, such as kidney cancer, nephritis and so on.
3. Malignant tumors of other organs: such as endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. can also cause leucine aminopeptidase increase.
Increased leucine aminopeptidase only plays the role of indication, but cannot be used as the basis for diagnosis of the disease. If leucine aminopeptidase is found to be elevated, it is necessary to further improve relevant examinations to clarify the cause of the disease.
