chronic injury (persistent elevation).....chronic disease (mild elevations)....don't forget medication effects!....elevation from acute injury should decrease in 3-7 days post-injury
AST stands for aspartate aminotransferase, which is an enzyme. It is normal to have a low level of AST in the blood. AST levels become elevated when there is damage or disease to an organ.
probably bone related
AST stands for aspartate aminotransferase, which is an enzyme found in the liver and other tissues. Elevated levels of AST in a blood test can indicate liver damage or injury.
chronic liver issue (cirrhosis or cancer)...
ALT and AST can be elevated in many diseases, but are indicators of the health of the liver. If they are both elevated then there is something going on with the liver, but without more information, or without knowing their numbers I wouldn't be able to give a reliable diagnosis. Some of the causes of elevated ALT and AST are: alcoholism, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and some blood disorders, but there are many more.
my wbc is8.3 (4.4-11.3) and my lymphocytes-abs are 3.62 (0.6-3.4) is this bad
An AST (aspartate aminotransferase) level of 12 is within the normal range. AST is a liver enzyme that can be elevated in liver damage or other conditions. If your AST level is 12, it suggests that your liver is functioning normally.
My AST was 51. Is that really high and dangerous?
AST stands for aspartate transaminase. It is one of the liver enzymes. When it is elevated, disproportionately, to ALT, this can be indicative of an alcohol problem, among other things.
A high level of AST (aspartate aminotransferase) in the blood typically indicates liver damage or injury. AST is an enzyme found in high levels in the liver, heart, muscles, and other organs, so elevated levels of AST can suggest liver disease, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
Elevated AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels typically indicate liver damage or inflammation. Levels of 105 and 106 are moderately elevated and should be further evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause, such as liver disease, medication side effects, or alcohol consumption. Treatment will depend on the specific diagnosis.
An AST (aspartate aminotransferase) level of 73 is higher than the normal range, which could indicate liver damage or disease. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to determine the cause of the elevated AST level.
