What is high liver enzymes?
Liver enzymes are enzymes produced by the liver that play an important role in metabolism and detoxification. When liver cells are damaged, they release enzymes into the blood, causing liver enzyme levels to increase.
High liver enzymes reflect the condition of liver cells being damaged. If liver enzymes increase slightly less than 2 times, the patient has almost no obvious symptoms. At this stage, if alcohol is abused, it will destroy liver cells very strongly. If high liver enzymes are not treated, it will lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.
Causes of high liver enzymes after Tet
Uncontrolled eating and living during Tet is the main cause of high liver enzymes:
- Consuming too much alcohol : The liver is responsible for metabolizing alcohol, but if consumed excessively, the liver becomes overloaded, leading to hepatitis and increased liver enzymes.
- Unhealthy diet : Foods high in fat, sugar, and animal fat can cause fatty liver, increasing liver enzymes.
- Not getting enough sleep : Staying up late and irregular activities affect liver function, reducing the ability to detoxify.
- Drug abuse : Using too many liver tonics and hangover remedies without prescription can harm the liver.
- Sudden weight gain : Eating more and exercising less causes fat to accumulate in the liver, causing fatty liver and increased liver enzymes.
