What is the cause of glutamyl transpeptidase

summary

Glutamyl transpeptidase is quite common in our life. We should not take it lightly when we encounter this kind of symptom. For most people, the high level of glutamyltranspeptidase is incredible. After all, we don't know the reason for the high level of glutamyltranspeptidase. At this time, we will be in line with the attitude of being highly responsible for ourselves, study hard, and find out the reason for the high level of glutamyltranspeptidase. Now I would like to share some experience with you.

What is the cause of glutamyl transpeptidase

First, in patients with acute viral hepatitis, the excessive synthesis of enzymes in hepatocytes adjacent to the necrotic area will generally lead to the increase of serum glutamyl transpeptidase. This factor is the most common and can not be ignored. Glutamyl transpeptidase is often on the high side in chronic active hepatitis. If it is elevated for a long time, there will be a tendency of liver necrosis.

Second: when the human intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile duct obstruction, due to the unobstructed excretion of glutamyltranspeptidase, with bile back into the blood, will also cause high glutamyltranspeptidase. Glutamyl transpeptidase in patients with alcoholic hepatitis and alcoholic cirrhosis almost all increased, which became an important feature of alcoholic liver disease, resulting in high glutamyl transpeptidase level.

Third: in patients with primary or metastatic liver cancer, most of the glutamyl transpeptidase increased significantly, usually several times or even dozens of times higher than normal. In the early stage of primary or secondary biliary cirrhosis, elevated glutamyltranspeptidase may also occur. Patients with fatty liver also have elevated glutamyl transpeptidase, but in general nutritional fatty liver, serum glutamyl transpeptidase activity is not more than 2 times of the normal value.

matters needing attention

After we are familiar with the cause of high glutamyl transpeptidase, we hope you can pay more attention to it, take care of your body slowly, and pay attention to the cultivation of living habits at the same time.
