What to do with high aminotransferases after choledochal cyst surgery

High transaminase after choledochal cyst surgery, need to consider liver damage, or postoperative infection, can be treated with hepatoprotective drugs, if you consider postoperative infection need to use anti-infection treatment. The main treatment of liver damage is based on liver-protecting drug therapy, with less inflammation can be tried silymarin, and more severe inflammation can be tried glycyrrhizic acid preparation, which can play an anti-hepatic inflammation role by inhibiting the activity of phospholipase A2, such as diammonium glycyrrhizinate, or glycyrrhizic acid monoammonium cysteine complex preparation, which can also play a role in neutralizing the reactive oxidants. Other commonly used drugs such as reduced glutathione. Ursodeoxycholic acid may be used in case of cholestatic type. Biliary surgery is a potentially infectious surgery, patients may be at risk of postoperative infections, transaminase elevation can also be seen in biliary infections, in the use of the above hepatoprotective drug therapy, anti-infective treatment is also needed, recommended the use of cephalosporin III antibiotics, which have a strong bactericidal effect on gram-negative bacilli, commonly used ceftriaxone, cefoperazone and so on. High transaminases after choledochal cyst surgery should be further examined to clarify the etiology and actively treated.
