Elevated serum 5'-nucleotidase
Elevated serum 5'-nucleotidase levels may be caused by drug side effects, fatty liver, biliary obstruction, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and other reasons. Treatment should be based on the specific underlying cause. Details are as follows:
1. Drug side effects: The use of certain medications may lead to increased serum 5'-nucleotidase levels. These include some anticancer drugs, antibiotics, and antituberculosis agents. Consult a physician to determine whether dosage adjustment or switching to alternative medications is necessary.
2. Fatty liver: Fatty liver is a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, which can damage liver tissue and subsequently elevate serum 5'-nucleotidase levels. Treatment under medical supervision may include medications such as Hezhi Capsules or Bicyclol Tablets.
3. Cholelithiasis: Cholelithiasis is a digestive system disorder involving the formation of stones in the gallbladder or bile ducts. These stones can obstruct the normal flow of bile, leading to increased release of 5'-nucleotidase. Symptom relief under medical guidance may include Ursodeoxycholic Acid Tablets or Indomethacin Tablets.
4. Hepatitis: Hepatitis refers to inflammatory liver diseases, including viral hepatitis and other types, all of which may cause elevated serum 5'-nucleotidase levels. Under medical supervision, treatment options may include Recombinant Human Interferon α2b Injection or Anluohuaxian Pills.
5. Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis involves progressive liver tissue damage and fibrosis, which can also result in elevated enzyme levels. Under a doctor's guidance, medications such as Furosemide Injection or Bumetanide Tablets may be used to alleviate symptoms.
If these conditions persist or worsen, prompt medical attention is recommended.
