A member asked:
My alt is 17 and my ast is 8. should i be concerned about the alt/ast ratio? i have been on ra meds most of my life and i do still drink wine occasionally?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This can be normal or the result of terrible last-stage liver disease. I have seen Hepatitis C with normal AST and ALT. More details are needed.
