Dr. Jin Zhongkui
Persistently elevated transaminase levels generally cause liver function damage, and over time may lead to hepatitis and hepatic ascites. In severe cases, significantly increased transaminase levels may result in organ failure. To lower transaminase levels, medications such as bifendate tablets or glycyrrhizin tablets can be taken orally under a doctor's guidance.
