AST Blood Test AST Test Results 6 min read The aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test is a blood test that looks for liver damage by checking the levels of aspartate aminotransferase (also known as aspartate transferase) in your blood. Your doctor might order this test to find out if you ...
What The Results Mean AST is a liver enzyme and is measured to assess diseases of the liver. AST can also be performed to assess the damage the heart muscle after a heart attack. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) Overview Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the heart, liver...
Results In non-obese subjects, the best marker of insulin resistance was alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ratio of 0.70 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.63-0.77). In overweight subjects, AUC values for the ALT/AST ratio and ALT were 0.66 (0.59-0.72) and 0.66 ...

Background The usefulness of laboratory tests in the decision-making process with regard to early identification of dengue virus infection has not been widely reported, particularly the aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/platelet count ratio index during a patient's days of illness. The aim of this ...
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to ALT ratio (AST/ALT ratio) have been shown to be related to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or insulin resistance, which was associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear whether ALT and AST/ALT rati...

His, Cys, Asn, and Gln exhibited extremely low rates of turnover consistent with kinetic side reactivity (Supplementary Fig. 4C). These results thus annotate Rv3722c as an aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT; Fig. 3e), with a weak, but significant, side activity toward Kyn, as observed in ...
Approach to the patient with mild diffuse liver test abnormalities is shown inFig. 1.2. 5. Abnormally low aminotransferase levels have been associated withuremiaandchronic hemodialysis; chronic viral hepatitis in this population may not result in aminotransferase elevation. ...
