High levels of aminotransferase usually indicate liver damage due to different type of diseaes. But it can also indicate many other causes such as tumor, heart disease, lung damage, kidney damage or even inflammation of muscle tissue. So the prognosis depends upon the exact reason for elevated aminotransferase.

Answer by  Moma123 (1043)

Aminotransferase are type of enzymes contained in liver cells. If there is any damage or injury to the liver, then the liver cells spill out this enzyme into blood stream thereby increasing its level in blood.

Elevated aminotransferase (exceeding 1000 IU/L or 50 time the upper limit of normal) is commonly associated with liver diseases. And liver cells when damaged can repair by itself without any medicines taken, this process is called regeneration. So the prognosis in people with liver disease is good.
