Elevatedtransaminasesare typically a sign of hepatocellular injury and most commonly caused byalcohol-associated liver diseaseormetabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease(MASLD). The initial diagnostic workup comprisesliver chemistriesthat include both() andaspartate transaminase(AST), and anRUQu...
A 45-year-old male patient was diagnosed with renal failure during workup of newly developed hypertension 2 years ago. At that time, serum creatinine concentration was 1.5mg/dl and there was also evidence of liver disease, with liver enzymes being markedly elevated (ALT 124 U/l, AST 55U/...
suggested an association between high serum GGTP levels and the risk ofhepatocellular carcinoma.29The GGTP level had a negative predictive value of 97.9%, higher than that for alkaline phosphatase, totalbilirubin,ALT, and AST, for detectingbile ductstones in patients undergoinglaparoscopic ...
Initial workup revealed a leukocytosis of 21,000 cells/mcL without bandemia, an anion gap of 21 mEq/L with an elevated serum lactate level of 2.6 mEq/L (normal 2.2 mEq/L), and a mildly elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) of 48 IU/L (normal 0–40 IU/uL). All other serum ...
Within 48 hours, her AST increased to 2452 U/L, ALT to 2213 U/L, and total bilirubin to 3.3 mg/dL. When transferred to our facility, shewas found to have markedly elevated serum ferritin of greater than 30,000 ng/mL. IL-2鈥搒oluble receptor alpha levelwas found to be 2247U/mL....
It was observed that the activity of AST in T2DM is comparable with the healthy persons (P=.060). While the level of ALT, total bilirubin and ALP in T2DM is significantly higher compared to healthy control (P<.000). On average, 62.53% of T2DM subjects and 32% of participants of ...

(2.1–4.71), AST/ALT 1.51 (1.26–1.84), APRI 0.42 (0.4–1.13) and Forns 6.61 (5.78–7.11). Severe fibrosis according to FIB-4 was found in 109 (29.5%) patients and 156 (42.2%) after adjusting the score for age > 65, according to guideline recommendations. The baseline ...
