Cardiac enzymes and troponin elevate what?
Cardiac enzymes and troponin levels do not elevate anything. Rather, when you have a heart attack (MI), they are elevated. Unlike damage to any other muscle in your body, damage to the cardiac muscle causes the release of specific cardiac enzymes. Therefore, if they are elevated, you had damage to your heart (i.e. heart attack). I disagree with the above: If both are elevated then you may have had a heart attack but, if cardiac enzymes alone are elevated and not troponin levels then you will not have had a heart attack. That's my personal experience. Troponin levels are now considered a more accurate indicator of damage to the heart muscle as a result of a heart attack than cardiac enzymes which can apply to any other muscle group rather than the heart. In fact to use the word 'cardiac' in this context is misleading because if you sprain your ankle for instance 'cardiac' enzymes will be released into the blood! So, where is the connection between damage to your ankle and that of your heart? Both enzymes therefore need to be elevated to indicate heart damage reliably.
What do right-side elevated oxygen levels indicate in a cardiac catheterization?
A left side that experiences decreased oxygen indicates a right-to-left shunt.
Elevated kidney enzymes?
Kidney issues can cause elevated enzymes. When your kidneys are damaged, your body responds with elevated levels of naturally occurring enzymes.
What do elevated homocysteine levels mean for a cardiac patient?
Elevated homocysteine levels are a prognostic indicator of arteriosclerosis and poor cardiovascular health. Diets rich in B vitamins, such as folic acid, B6 and B12, tend to reduce serum homocysteine levels, It is not clear whether lowering homocysteine levels in the cardiac patient will lead to improved outcomes, with respect to morbidity and mortality (especially as cardiovascular diseases tend to be multifactorial, often including a significant genetic component).
How can elevated SGPT be cured?
SGPT is released into the blood when the heart or liver is damaged. Some issues that cause elevated SGPT levels are viral hepatitis, diabetes, congestive heart failure, liver damage, bile duct problems, infectious mononucleosis, or myopathy. To cure the elevated SGPT levels, the underlying cause needs to be determined and treated or cured.
Why SGOT and SGPT count increases?
When the liver gets damaged or injured or if it is producing in excess, these enzymes leak out into the blood and the levels of SGOT and SGPT become elevated.
What does an elevated troponin T level mean?
Cardiac troponin levels are usually too low to measure. Elevated troponin T levels indicate that there has been some form of damage to the heart.Strenuous exercise can also temporarily elevate troponin levels for a brief time. The effects of a heart attack would keep troponin T levels elevated for up to two weeks.
Can hepitis c cause elevated urobilinogen levels in urine?
Can hepitis c cause elevated urobilinogen levels in urine?
If you have elevated levels of AST and ALT from alchol if you reduce drinking can the levels be reduced?
Yes, reducing alcohol consumption can help lower elevated levels of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase). These liver enzymes are released into the bloodstream when the liver is damaged, commonly due to excessive alcohol intake. By reducing alcohol consumption, the liver has a chance to recover and the levels of AST and ALT can decrease.
What does elevated levels of estrogen mean?

What is the hormonal response to elevated blood levels?
