Mildly elevated aspartate aminotransferase 60 needs to be combined with a combination of conditions to determine if it is serious. A slight elevation of this value alone, with no other discomfort, is generally not serious.
There may be variability in the normal value of aspartate aminotransferase depending on the reagents used for the test from different hospitals, but the normal range is basically either 0 to 40 U/L or 0 to 50 U/L.
An aspartate aminotransferase test value of 60 U/L is out of the normal range and is mildly high. It may be a normal physiological phenomenon or liver cell damage.
1. Physiological phenomenon: Exercise, eating, drinking, staying up late, taking antibiotics or cold medicine may cause a transient increase in aspartate aminotransferase to 60 U/L, which is usually normal and does not require special treatment.
2. Pathological phenomenon: clinically, because of some diseases, resulting in liver cell damage, may also cause aspartate aminotransferase elevation. Such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, toxic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, cholecystitis, coronary heart disease, pneumonia or tuberculosis and other diseases.
It is recommended to go to the hospital, and the doctor will make a judgment based on the comprehensive situation.
