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 Aspartate Aminotransferase. 3 Share Your Discovery Share via Social Media Embed This Content ...

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-...
One test your doctor might do along with the AST test is the alanine transferase (ALT) test. ALT is also a type of enzyme, but unlike AST, it is found mostly in your liver. Your doctor might want to measure both of these because they can leak into your bloodstream when you have dama...
Understanding mechanisms of hepatocellular damage may lead to new treatments for liver disease, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) serum activities have proven useful for inve

Among other top results (p<5E-06), were several SNPs in PCNPP2, GALNT2, and PDE9A genes that appeared to impact both AST and ALT levels in the context of the reported alcohol consumption.DiscussionGenomic location of our top association findings indicates their potential involvement in the ...
