During a heart attack, heart muscle cells die due to lack of oxygen. Cardiac enzymes from the dying cells leak into the bloodstream. In addition to a heart attack, other cardiac diseases that can cause elevated cardiac enzymes include: -- heart failure, or weakness of the heart muscle. -- inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, or pericarditis. -- inflammation of the heart muscle, or myocarditis.
The liver is responsible for detoxifying substances such as alcohol and drugs in your body, storing certain vitamins and minerals, such as iron and vitamin A, and storing glucose to be available as fuel. So what causes high liver enzyme levels to show up in a liver-function blood test? Alanine transaminase, or ALT, and aspartate transaminase, or AST, are the two most common liver enzymes to be tested. It is relatively common for one or both of these liver enzymes to be high. These enzymes leak out into the blood when liver cells are damaged or destroyed, the Mayo Clinic explains.
