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...
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...
Characteristically ALT is generally higher than AST in acute viral or toxic hepatitis, whereas for most patients with chronic hepatic disease, ALT levels are generally lower than AST levels. Elevated ALT levels have also been found in extensive trauma and muscle disease, circulatory failure with ...
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...
Assays for the transaminases AST and ALT are universally available on automated chemistry analyzers and are inexpensive to perform. Both enzymes are elevated in chronic liver disease but usually less than 1000 U/L; higher values reflect acute hepatic disturbance. The De Rittis ratio (AST:ALT) is...
CEUS quantitative parameters [rise time (RT), peak intensity (PI), peak time (TTP), mean transit time (MTT)] and LSR in GISTLM group were significantly higher than those in CRCLM group(P<0.05). Compared with single diagnosis, the AUC, Yoden index, s...

I started with the breasts, as my risk of breast cancer is higher than my risk of ovarian cancer, and the surgery is more complex. On April 27, I finished the three months of medical procedures. During that time I have been able to keep this private and to carry on with my work. ...
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...
AST/ALT ratio predicts cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. RESULTS: The mean AST/ALT ratio in the cirrhotic patients (n = 47) was higher than in the noncirrhotic patients (n = 92) (1.06 +/- 0.06 vs ......
