alt ast range

[unclebill759]

I, recently had a blood test in a local grocery store. The method was a finger *****, resluts in five minutes. My alt score was 26 and my ast score was 34. I, was told my ast was high. Do I, need to consult my DOCTOR?

The normal range for ALT, 7-56 and AST, 5-40. There is no need to consult your doctor.

Let me add that different ranges are used, depending on who is doing the test, and what scale they are using. I just had blood work done and my ALT was 32 and AST was 26. My doctor uses a scale of: Normal ALT, 10-42 and AST, 10-42. So if you were going by my doctors scale, you would still be in the normal range.

Hope this is helpful
