What should I do if I have Glutathione 41?

  The normal range of glutamic oxalacetic transaminase is 0-40 U/L. When glutamic oxalacetic transaminase is 41 U/L, the condition is slightly high and the cause of the elevated glutamic oxalacetic transaminase should be identified and treated for the cause.  If a patient has 41 U/L in liver function, it is important to confirm whether he or she has had bad habits such as drinking alcohol, staying up late, or working hard within a week before the liver function test. Patients should not worry too much about the mildly high glutamic oxalacetic aminotransferase caused by the above conditions, and should ensure a reasonable work and rest schedule in daily life, avoid staying up late, exertion, drinking alcohol, and exercise appropriately.  Glutathione 41 U/L can also be seen in pathological conditions, such as chronic viral hepatitis B or chronic viral hepatitis C. In this case, the patient should undergo aggressive liver-protective therapy under the guidance of a physician in a large hospital by taking medications that have a lowering effect on glutathione transaminase, such as bupropion drops or dicyclomine tablets, and having blood tests for hepatitis B DNA or hepatitis C RNA to determine whether the virus is replicating. After antiviral treatment and liver preservation therapy, most of the patients’ glutamic transaminases will gradually decrease to normal levels.
