Does taking heparin cause an increase in alanine aminotransferase levels?

Taking heparin may cause an elevation in alanine aminotransferase levels, but the probability of such an increase is not particularly high. Elevated alanine aminotransferase levels may be caused by viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and other diseases.

1. Viral Hepatitis: Viral hepatitis is mainly caused by viral infections and is contagious, spreading through blood, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. It can easily lead to symptoms such as appetite loss, physical fatigue, skin itchiness, and fatigue. It may also present with liver pain, liver enlargement, nausea, vomiting, and aversion to greasy foods. Under the guidance of a doctor, Aciclovir Dispersible Tablets, Entecavir Capsules, and Ribavirin Granules can be taken.

2. Liver Cirrhosis: Liver cirrhosis may be caused by the progression of various liver diseases and is usually accompanied by symptoms such as ascites, appetite loss, physical fatigue, weight loss, and abdominal pain. These symptoms can be treated with Spironolactone Tablets, Furosemide Tablets, and Propranolol Hydrochloride Tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, it is important to strictly follow the doctor's advice when taking medication and avoid self-medication to prevent increasing the burden on the liver and exacerbating the disease.
