Causes of high liver enzymes

NGUYỄN LY (THEO HEALTHLINE) |

High liver enzymes are often considered a warning sign of liver damage, many people believe that the main cause comes from alcohol or viral hepatitis.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are many unpredictable factors that can increase liver enzymes.In addition to alcohol, some seemingly harmless factors can also cause increased liver enzymes. Using any medicine



Many popular treatment drugs such as fever reducers, antibiotics, painkillers, oriental medicine, functional foods, etc. can affect liver function if used for a long time or not in the right dosage.For example, paracetamol, a familiar painkiller, can cause liver damage if overdose.Late sleep, prolonged stress



Late sleep disrupts the biological clock, causing the liver to not get enough rest and reducing detoxification efficiency.At the same time, prolonged stress disrupts the nervous system - hormones, indirectly affecting the liver, especially the metabolism of fat and glucose, thereby increasing the risk of fatty liver and increasing liver enzymes.

Eat plenty of fried foods, fast food

A diet rich in saturated fat and refined sugar increases liver fat.If accumulated excessively, the liver will be inflamed and liver enzymes will increase.This is the cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which is increasing significantly in young people and office workers.

viral and bacterial infections without obvious symptoms

Some cases of viral infections such as EBV (Epstein-Barr) or CMV (cytomegalovirus) can temporarily increase liver enzymes, even if the patient only has mild symptoms or even does not recognize them.In addition, malaria and welding can also cause secondary liver damage.

Obesity, laziness to move

Insulin resistance and metabolic disorders in obese people can cause fat accumulation in the liver.According to statistics from the American Diabetes Association, more than 25% of the world's population is at risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, of which increased liver enzymes are the most common sign.

Experts recommend that people should not be subjective when seeing liver enzymes increase in test results.Early detection and accurate determination of the cause will help with timely intervention, preventing the risk of prolonged liver damage or progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

To protect the liver, it is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle, get enough sleep, limit alcohol, eat in moderation, check your health regularly and absolutely do not take medicine without a doctor's prescription.
