Elevated glutamyl transpeptidase is generally associated with alcoholism, drug use, nephritis and hepatitis. 1. Alcoholism: In chronic alcoholics, ethanol in alcohol can be metabolized by the liver, causing harm to the liver and elevating glutamyl transpeptidase in the body. Therefore, it is important to drink moderately and not to be greedy. 2. Taking medicines: Taking some medicines such as birth control pills, phenobarbital, antipyrine, etc. can cause glutamyl transpeptidase to rise, and these medicines will intensify the load on the liver, thus causing glutamyl transpeptidase to rise. However, glutamyl transpeptidase will return to normal after weaning from the drug. 3. Nephritis: Nephritis is the cause of glutamyl transpeptidase elevation in the body. Since glutamyl transpeptidase is mainly stored in the kidneys, it is necessary to go to the hospital immediately to find out the cause of the disease. 4. Hepatitis: due to the inflammation of the liver, the production of glutamyl transpeptidase is more hyperactive, which in turn causes the elevation of blood cell glutamyl transpeptidase, long-term glutamyl transpeptidase elevation of the patient, there may be viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and so on, which leads to the tendency of hepatic necrosis. If glutamyl transpeptidase is elevated abnormally, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor.
