Pneumonia test: high liver function, high cardiac enzymes

Elevated liver function tests and cardiac enzymes in patients with pneumonia may be related to the pneumonia itself or other disease factors. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time, improve the relevant examinations under the guidance of the doctor, and actively treat after a clear diagnosis.

1. Causes of pneumonia:

1. Inflammatory reaction: due to bacterial or viral pathogen infection, inflammatory lesions occur in lung tissues, resulting in alveolar wall congestion and edema, a large amount of inflammatory secretions exudate, and symptoms such as fever, cough and sputum can occur.If the disease is severe, it may affect the normal metabolic function of the liver and heart, thus affecting liver function and cardiac enzyme levels;

2. Other conditions: If you take medication during pneumonia, such as cefixime capsules, ribavirin tablets and other antibiotics or antiviral drugs, it may affect the metabolic burden of the liver and kidney, and then cause abnormal liver function.

2. Non-pneumonia causes:

1. Alcoholism: Long-term excessive drinking can easily damage the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract and even induce alcoholic fatty liver, which can also lead to the above phenomena;

3. Gallstones: Mainly caused by poor eating habits and other reasons, it will cause abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting and other symptoms, and will also cause a certain irritation to the liver, so it will also lead to liver function impairment, manifested as the above symptoms;

4. Acute pancreatitis: It is usually a common disease of the digestive system caused by a variety of etiologies, and the pathogenesis is mainly caused by the activation of pancreatic enzymes caused by various reasons, so that the activity of digestive enzymes in the pancreatic juice is enhanced, and a chemical peritonitis formed by self-digestion of the pancreas will cause symptoms of epigastric pain, and may also lead to increased aminotransferases, so it will be mistaken for pneumonia.

It may also be caused by diseases such as liver cancer, which needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. In daily life, we should pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to focus on light food, and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as apples, spinach, etc., which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and is conducive to physical health.
