High levels of liver enzymes GGT, ALT and AST are predictive of disease and all-cause mortality and can reflect liver injury, fatty liver and/or oxidative stress. Variation in GGT, ALT and AST levels is heritable. Moderation of the heritability of these liver enzymes by age and sex has ...
If levels are very high, this usually indicates acute hepatitis; with treatment, the levels should decrease but they will remain higher than usual for around 2 months. If levels are slightly higher than normal, this may indicate chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and problems which...
Too high of an AST ALT ratio and high levels of AST and ALT. A ratio of AST ALT greater than 1 can be indicative of cirrhosis - a scar tissue transformation of the liver that eventually results in a loss of its function. AST ALT ratio > 2 strongly suggests alcoholic hepatitis - an ...
(up to 6.0), this denotes alcoholic liver disease. And if the ratio is between 1.4 and 2.0, it suggests cirrhosis. Interestingly enough, the severity of cirrhosis is measured by the level of the ratio, implying that patients of cirrhosis with a high AST:ALT ratio w...
An AST:ALT ratio of greater than 1.67 suggests a high risk of CLI.[xviii] An elevation of AST can be seen in myocardial infarction and calculation of the AST:ALT ratio may be helpful in assessing severity of cardiac muscle damage.[xix] Metabolic syndrome risk factors such as waist ...
