2023年11月23日 · An AST blood test measures levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and helps determine liver function. Too much of this enzyme can indicate a problem, such as liver damage.

2024年1月5日 · An AST test looks for blood levels of aspartate aminotransferase, an enzyme found mostly in the liver. Higher-than-average AST levels may be a sign of liver damage or liver disease, though there may be other causes at play.

Know that having a high level of aspartate transaminase (AST) doesn’t necessarily mean you have a medical condition and need treatment. Many factors can affect your AST levels, and approximately 1 in 20 healthy people will have a result outside the normal reference range.

2023年11月22日 · 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...

2025年1月18日 · AST is an enzyme that helps the body break down amino acids. Like ALT, AST is usually present in blood at low levels. An increase in AST levels may mean liver damage, liver disease or muscle damage. This test is sometimes referred to …

Normal levels of ALT (SGPT) ranges from about 7-56 units/liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood), Normal levels of AST (SGOT) is about 5-40 units/liter of serum. Elevated levels of AST and ALT may signify the level of liver damage in a person.

2024年1月13日 · The level of AST in the blood is often tested to reveal the presence of liver disease or of damage to the liver. The test for AST is normally conducted in conjunction with other tests, especially for alanine tranaminase (ALT) and for alkaline phosphatase (ASP).

AST (aspartate aminotransferase) is an enzyme, a protein that speeds up certain chemical reactions in your body. It is found mainly in your liver but also in your heart, muscles, and other tissues. Usually, you will have low levels of AST in your blood.

2020年8月12日 · Usually, the AST levels in the bloodstream are low. The normal values range of the AST blood test in males is 10 to 40 units per Liter of Serum and in females, it is 9 to 32 units per Liter of Serum. However, this range may vary depending on the type of technique and protocols used by the lab.

2021年12月14日 · AST levels increase when there’s damage to the tissues and cells where the enzyme is found. AST levels can rise as soon as 6 hours after damage to tissue occurs. The typical range for AST is...
