Yes, high AST can result from problems affecting the heart, muscles, or other organs. 4 Are there ways to reduce elevated ALT and AST levels? Yes, addressing the underlying cause, such as abstaining from alcohol or changing medications, can help. 4 What does AST stand for? AST stands for...

Liver tests (LT), especially to measure AST, ALT and GGT levels, are widely used to evaluate the risk of alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). In this study, we investigated the potential genetic factors that modulate the association between LTs and alcohol consumption. We conducted a genome-...
Focusing only on loci with both ALT and AST GWAS signals (lead variants from either GWAS were identical or shared proxies withr2 ≥ 0.8), we found a total of 100 independent loci associated with both enzymes (Fig.2, Supplementary Data2). As expected, effect sizes on ALT and AST at ...

Yet, it is possible that effects of SNPs on liver function may depend on the extent of recent alcohol exposure, which was not investigated in these studies. To address this gap in our knowledge, we investigated SNP-by-consumption interaction effects on the levels of three liver enzymes (AST,...
