Is a high alanine aminotransferase of 98 U/L serious?

The alanine aminotransferase 98U/L is mildly high, whether it is serious or not, it needs to be evaluated together with other indicators of liver function and imaging tests.
The normal value of alanine aminotransferase in liver, skeletal muscle and heart muscle is 0-40U/L. 98U/L is not more than three times of the normal value, so it is not serious, but only mildly high. This high level may be caused by bad daily habits, such as drinking, fatigue, and staying up late. It may also indicate mild liver cell damage and abnormal liver function.
In addition cholecystitis, gallbladder stones, and other biliary obstructive diseases can also lead to elevated ALT values.
With lifestyle modifications over time, ALT may decrease and return to normal values. If the alanine aminotransferase continues to be elevated and does not improve after lifestyle adjustments, the possibility of hepatitis needs to be considered.
If the result of the alanine aminotransferase test is abnormal, it is recommended to consult a doctor to clarify the diagnosis and carry out targeted treatment or therapy with the help of a doctor.
