When ALT's higher than AST - what does it mean? Let's talk about the situation when both AST and ALT are elevated, but the level of ALT is higher than that for AST. This results in a low value of the AST ALT ratio. What are the causes of such a finding? Destruction of the liv...
An AST/ALT ratio of less than 1.5 suggests extrahepatic obstruction.[xvii] Muscle damage An increasing AST:ALT ratio will be seen in muscle damage, as AST in muscle is significantly higher than ALT. The ratio is helpful in assessing critical limb ischemia (CLI), a form of peripheral artery...
(p < 0.05). Serum qAnti-HBc level was significantly higher with CHB-NALT patients with liver injury than these without in the training set (P < 0.01). ALT/ULN, AST, PLT and qAnti-HBc were identified as independent pr...
Results In the patients with primary hepatic carcinoma, the means of AST/ALT ratios were significantly higher than that of the means of patients with liver cirrhosis (P锛 0.05). The means of AST/ALT ratios were not significantly different between the patients with viral and nun-viral liver ...
Levels of ALT in the blood in healthy people are very low; if levels are raised this may signify that the individual has an infection or illness, which is affecting their liver. Very high levels are usually symptomatic of acute hepatitis, while levels that are higher than average may signify...
The upper limits of the measurement ranges of ALT and AST were 335.8 and 363.6 U/L respectively, which were both higher than those of IFCC reporting.Conclusions The reference methods have been established basically. Most analytic characteristics such as precison, accuracy and linear range were ...
ResultsThe Kaplan-Meier curves showed that HCC patients with normal GGT leval and higher ALT/AST ratio had a longer survival time than those with higher GGT leval and those with lower ALT/AST ratio (all P<0.05). The multivariate analyses showed that GGT leval and TNM staging were independent...
In patients with valproatetoxicity, the mean level of serum valproate was 110.91 ± 28.68 mg/dL (therapeutic range 50- 100 mg/dL).Serum ammonia was higher (86.37 ± 39.90 μg/dL) in patients with valproate toxicity compared to controls(68.73 ± 30.07 μg/dL). Out of 100 patients, only...

When AST is higher than ALT, it might indicate issues like alcoholic liver disease or muscle damage. 8 From a diagnostic perspective, evaluating both ALT and AST levels together provides a clearer picture of liver health. While both enzymes can be elevated due to liver issues, the context in...
