There are many enzymes that are used to confirm the functions and capacity of the liver and health, and these enzymes exist in multiple places in the human body other than the liver itself, they are found in the heart and skeletal muscle, as also found in red blood cells. The enzyme alanine (ALT), also called glutamic acid carbophyll (SGPT), is usually measured. AST is also measured as glutamic acid oxalocyte (SGOT). Each of these enzymes has different values than the other, but the high level of each of them in the blood results in significant damage, and when examined helps diagnose many other diseases.
There are many reasons for the high level of both ALT and AST in the blood, some of which are due to certain types of drugs, including what is caused by erroneous behavior, including what is satisfactory. Some types of drugs cause an increase in the rate of liver enzymes in the blood, such as those used to lower the level of cholesterol in the blood, as well as excessive consumption of acetaminophen Acetaminophen or also called Paracetamol (Paracetamol), which is used as a static and anti-heat. It also contributes to poisoning and getting an overdose of drugs in the level of these enzymes in the blood.
Some conditions and diseases such as diabetes, obesity and overweight cause other acute and chronic diseases, including those known as alcoholic fatty liver disease, all of which cause a rise in the level of liver enzymes in the blood. Some hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C infections cause an increase in the rate of liver enzymes in the blood, and this increase is significant in the case of hepatitis A and is slightly in the cases of hepatitis C and hepatitis C B. Some infections such as viral infection through cytomegalovirus or cytomegalovirus or CMV also cause the high level of these enzymes in the blood. Excessive drinking also causes liver problems such as hepatic fibrosis and others, and thus an increase in liver enzymes. Genetics may also play a role.
Some changes in life practices such as drinking alcohol, avoiding smoking, trying to lose weight, eating healthy and rich in vegetables and fruits, as well as committing to proper use of drugs may help to maintain liver health.
