Increased transaminase

Transaminase is an important enzyme produced in liver cells. It plays an important role in the relationship between amino acid metabolism and the conversion of proteins, fats and sugars. In general, it does not come out of liver cells in large quantities. If the blood contains a large amount of transaminase, it is considered abnormal. Of course, if only the transaminase is increased and other liver function tests are normal or approximately normal, it is called a single transaminase increase. At this time, the amount of serum transaminase increase should be further examined to understand the degree of liver damage.
