A member asked:
Ast (23) is greater than alt (20) which i read means cirrhosis, but fibroscan was normal and contrast ct scan showed nothing? what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As I read it...: ...your AST and ALT are normal, which accounts for why your fibroscan and CT scan showed nothing. Your stated concern about the AST/ALT ratio may have validity if/when the AST and ALT values are unequivocally abnormal.
