LIVER DISORDERS COMMUNITY
ALT/AST RATIO

ALT/AST RATIO

My husband has been an alcoholic binger for 3 years now. His most recent bloodwork showed his ALT @ 179  and his AST @ 108.  (MCH @ 31 HCT @ 41)  Doc says stop drinking obviously.  I thought results with AST exceeding ALT were more indicative of alcohol abuse?  What does it mean if the ALT exceeds?
