🌱 Series 2P11 🧡 High liver = Really broken liver?

When high AST or ALT results are seen, many people often worry about severe liver disease.

But in reality, liver values are only an indicator of liver cell injury, not a measure of whether the liver works well or poorly.

Higher levels can be caused by many causes, e.g.

Liver grease

Drinking alcohol

Some drugs or supplements.

Hepatitis

Heavy exercise before examining

In some cases, a doctor may recommend a repeat examination within a certain period of time because the liver can return to normal after eliminating the cause.

📌 something you want to remember.

High liver value. ♨ The liver is always broken.

The results should be translated in combination with symptoms, physical tests and other tests.

Do not buy your own medicine or supplements to "wash your liver" without your doctor's advice, because some can affect the liver.

📌 Note

Estimated reference value

🧡 ALT (SGPT) about 7-56 U / L

🧡 AST (SGOT) About 10-40 U / L

(Reference values may vary by laboratory)

Translation of preliminary results

✅ not more than 2 times the normal value.

It may be found from liver peeling fat, certain drugs, alcohol, or heavy exercise.

Follow-up and consult a doctor if it is still high.

⚠️ about 2-5 times as tall.

A doctor should be seen to find out more causes.

🚨 5 times higher.

A doctor should be rushed because it may be caused by acute hepatitis, hepatic ischemia, certain drugs or toxins, or other causes that need to be evaluated ASAP.

Translation must be combined with symptoms, other tests, and health history. It should not be summarized from a single number.
