Is there a relationship between fatty liver and elevated transaminase levels?
Disease description:
Six months ago, I was diagnosed by a doctor with fatty liver. During a recent hospital checkup, the doctor mentioned that I might have elevated transaminase levels. I would like to know whether fatty liver is related to high transaminase levels.

Dr. Zhao Haiming
Fatty liver and elevated transaminase levels may be related. Fatty liver is a condition in which excessive fat accumulates within liver cells, affecting liver function. When liver function becomes abnormal, it may lead to elevated transaminase levels. Additionally, if fatty liver causes increased transaminase levels, treatment under a doctor's guidance with hepatoprotective and enzyme-lowering medications may be recommended.
