My ast is 23 alt is 14, my doctor says this is normal. should i be concerned about the rato?

No, the ratio is only calculated when liver enzymes are elevated as it may help suggesting the cause for liver injury. In your case your liver enzymes are normal.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your values are normal. Wish you good health!

I need to stay off Dr. GOOGLE! My AST is 19 and ALT is 15. Google says this ratio indicates cirrhosis! I'm pretty sure my doctor would have told me if I had cirrhosis. Are these good numbers? I used to be a heavy drinker but for past 15 months sober?

I have high AST and ALT levels. I was referred to a rheumatologist. All other tests came back normal. Is this the correct doctor to see?
My ALT is 140, AST is 40, and Bilirubin is 0.3. I haven't spoken with my doctor because the results came directly from the lab. What does it mean if you have high ALT, but normal AST? I'm worried.
