  2. Elevated transaminases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_transaminases

    This is a good reminder that AST and ALT are not good measures of liver function when other sources may influence AST or ALT, because they do not reliably reflect the synthetic ability of the liver, and they may come from tissues other than liver (such as muscle).

  3. AST/ALT ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AST/ALT_ratio

    An AST/ALT ratio >5 necessarily involves extrahepatic tissue, as death of hepatocytes alone would produce an AST/ALT ratio no greater than 2.5. [9] Because the primary cause is extrahepatic, typically an isolated elevated AST is seen, with no change in ALT. Common causes include bone disease, chronic renal failure, lymphoma, and congestive ...

    It is the major cause of liver disease in Western countries, and is the leading cause of death from excessive drinking.

    [71] [72] Generally, AST and ALT are elevated in most cases of hepatitis regardless of whether the person shows any symptoms. [33] The degree of elevation (i.e. levels in the hundreds vs. in the thousands), the predominance for AST vs. ALT elevation, and the ratio between AST and ALT are informative of the diagnosis. [33]
