Clinical Overview

Clinical Summary: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscles. It is measured alongside ALT to distinguish between liver damage and muscle or heart injury.

What is the AST Test?

While ALT is liver-specific, AST is found in multiple tissues. The ratio between AST and ALT helps doctors determine the specific cause and severity of organ stress.

Why get tested?

  • To evaluate suspected liver disease in combination with other liver tests.
  • To monitor chronic liver conditions like Cirrhosis.
  • To assess potential heart or muscle damage if other symptoms are present.

Clinical Interpretation Range

Patient Type Normal Range (U/L)
Adult Male 10 - 40 U/L
Adult Female 9 - 32 U/L

Preparation

No fasting is required, but avoid strenuous exercise 24 hours before the test as it can temporarily raise AST levels.
