No, typically AST isn't as important. It can become important if weird things start happening with the ALT/AST ratio but I don't think that's something you need to worry about.
Despite the decent ALT results i don't believe i get an actual reading for AST... Is this gonna hinder me from knowing the full scale of my HBV?
Even by the newer standards of the upper limit of normal being 19 for women and 30 for men your ALT is is good shape. Its been years since I've seen a number that low.
for sure it does. do not worry mate.. normal range here in ITA 5-55
Also as my last ALT was 21 and the prev 20, does that mean i have nothing at all to worry about?
Is this 17-45 range for Hep sufferers only?
Would a normal person not have any ALT at all...
Thanks guys.
actually most labs state the range from 5-55
maybe the mean valuye of the range is 17-45 but they always stated 5-55 as average between the low and high
ALT range?
17-45
Also whats the difference between ALT and AST really?
--Different enzymes both relating liver function.
