elevated liver enzymes indicating potential liver inflammation or damage
Transaminitis refers to an elevated level of liver enzymes, specifically alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST), in the blood. This condition often indicates liver inflammation or damage, which can be caused by various factors such as infections, medications, alcohol use, or autoimmune diseases. While it is not a disease itself, transaminitis is a sign that further investigation is needed to determine the underlying cause.
