You'll need to know your AST and ALT levels, as determined by a bloodtest. Your physician may include these tests in your regular check-ups, regardless of the presence any liver insufficiency symptoms. Aspartate transaminase (AspAT/SGOT/ASAT/AAT/GOT); and Alanine transaminase / alanine aminotr...
Here’s an easy way to find out your AST:ALT ratio: divide your AST level as shown on your blood test results by your ALT level. For example, if your AST is 20 U/L and your ALT is 18 U/L, then your ALT ratio would be 1.05, which is within the normal...
(oxygen-depleted) blood returns from the body to the right atrium and is pumped to the right ventricle, and then on to the lungs, while "red" (oxygen-enriched) blood returns from the lungs to the left atrium and is pumped to the left ventricle, and then on to the body via the ...
Blood counting and the liver function tests, as the routine examinations, can reflect the immune and nutritional status of the body, our aim is to assess the prognostic significance of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) levels and AST/ALT in primary hepatic carcinoma. Methods Clinico-pathological...
All patients were diagnosed and documented by their responsible physicians based on the results of CBC (complete blood count) after birth, hemoglobin electrophoresis and genetic test for mutations of the β-globin gene. Transfusion dependent thalassemia cases were on a regular red-cell transfusion. ...
Multiple linear regression analysis displayed that SMI was negatively associated with ALT/AST, age, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in male group. While in female group, SMI was positively associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and negatively ...

(pyridoxal phosphate) to transfer the amino group from aspartate to the corresponding keto acid. There are two isoenzymes found for this particular AST enzyme. The cytosolic enzyme (GOT1/cAST) derives mainly from red blood cells and the heart. The mitochondrial isoenzyme (GOT2/mAST) is present...
Meanwhile, spectrophotometric measurement has its obvious advantages such as continuous test and wide measurement range (visible light, UV, IR). Karmen et al. [27] presented the spectrometric assay of GOT in human blood serum in 1955. Giusti et al. [28] presented a comparative study of some ...
IS levels are higher in the brain—being transported by OTA3 channels expressed in the blood-brain barrier [25], and plasma of CKD patients (30 µM)—compared to control subjects (4.7 µM) [26]. Therefore, IS is a likely candidate to trigger cerebral dysfunction [27], and more ...
