Increased transaminases found when donating blood can be caused by various liver diseases, bile duct and pancreatic diseases, drug injuries and bad habits, as follows:
1. Liver diseases: various viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, liver abscess, etc. can cause different degrees of transaminase elevation.
2. Biliary and pancreatic diseases: If bile ducts and pancreatic diseases obstruct the bile ducts and lead to cholestasis, liver cells can be damaged, resulting in elevated aminotransferases in the blood.
3. Diseases of other organs: other tissues and organs of the body also contain aminotransferases, and blood aminotransferases can be elevated when suffering from myocarditis, pyelonephritis, lobar pneumonia, tuberculosis, sepsis, and crush syndrome.
4. Taking drugs that damage the liver, such as erythromycin and rifampicin, can damage the liver and cause transaminases to rise.
5. Long-term alcoholism and dietary irregularities leading to fatty liver can also cause transaminase elevation.
6. Strenuous exercise, overwork or late-night work can also cause transaminase elevation.
Therefore, when you find elevated transaminases, you need to consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying your condition.
