Hello, the main causes of elevated transaminase levels include:
- Temporary elevation may result from recent inadequate rest, alcohol consumption, a cold, or certain medications. In such cases, medication is generally unnecessary—adequate rest is recommended.
- If transaminase levels remain persistently elevated upon regular follow-up testing, this is commonly seen in patients with chronic hepatitis.
We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
