glutamate dehydrogenase

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH or GDH) is a mitochondrial enzyme mainly found in the liver, heart muscle and kidney, and is present in small amounts in the brain, skeletal muscle and white blood cells. In addition to catalyzing the dehydrogenation of L-glutamic acid, GDH also catalyzes the deamination of other amino acids such as L-valine, L-2-aminobutyric acid and L-leucine. The measurement method is mainly continuous monitoring method. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Glutamate dehydrogenase: 0-1.5 U/L Above normal: Acute viral hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis. negative: Positive: Tips: After taking blood, you need to press it at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. Normal value 0 to 1.5 U/L. Clinical significance Abnormal result Elevation: acute viral hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis. High results may be diseases: viral hepatitis, liver cirrhosis considerations Before inspection: 1, do not eat too greasy, high-protein food the day before the blood, to avoid heavy drinking. The alcohol content in the blood directly affects the test results. 2. After 8 pm on the day before the medical examination, you should start fasting for 12 hours to avoid affecting the test results. 3, should relax when taking blood, to avoid the contraction of blood vessels caused by fear, increase the difficulty of blood collection. After inspection: 1. After blood is drawn, local compression is required at the pinhole for 3-5 minutes to stop bleeding. Note: Do not rub, so as not to cause subcutaneous hematoma. 2, the pressing time should be sufficient. There is a difference in clotting time for each person, and some people need a little longer to clotting. Therefore, when the surface of the skin appears to be bleeding, the compression is stopped immediately, and the blood may be infiltrated into the skin due to incomplete hemostasis. Therefore, the compression time is longer to completely stop bleeding. If there is a tendency to bleed, the compression time should be extended. 3, after the blood draw symptoms of fainting such as: dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, etc. should immediately lie down, drink a small amount of syrup, and then undergo a physical examination after the symptoms are relieved. 4. If there is localized congestion, use a warm towel after 24 hours to promote absorption. Inspection process Inspection method: draw blood. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
