Does black coffee lower aminotransferases?



Black coffee does not lower transaminases. Black coffee mainly has the effects of clearing the mind, anti-fatigue, increasing metabolism and promoting intestinal peristalsis.

1. If you suffer from liver diseases, such as acute hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver cancer, etc., transaminases are usually significantly higher than normal. For these patients with poor liver, especially those with severe liver dysfunction, drinking black coffee not only fails to reduce transaminases, but may also aggravate the uncomfortable symptoms.

2. For patients whose aminotransferases are only mildly abnormal without symptoms, also do not drink excessive amounts of black coffee, which can lead to loss of appetite, insomnia, elevated blood lipids, rapid heartbeat, elevated blood pressure and other symptoms.

3. In addition, it is not recommended to drink black coffee on an empty stomach or when drinking alcohol, which may increase discomfort.

It is recommended that a doctor should judge whether black coffee can be consumed according to the patient’s specific condition to avoid adverse effects.
