A member asked:
Is my ast:alt ratio concerning even if both levels are wnl? i am a moderate/heavy drinking w/ ast 17 and alt 11. is a 1.5 ratio reversible with abstinence? exercise regularly/bmi - 22/45 year old female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, if the AST and ALT are normal, the ratio really doesn’t matter. Of course, it’s a good idea to cut back on alcohol and not drink every day. If you feel you have a drinking problem, contact your primary doctor. Good luck.

Recently I had abnormal results on a liver function test. AST = 215 / ALT = 135. Drinking is the issue. I don't think I can stop cold turkey. Will the liver still be able to heal if I cut back by say 95%? Or is abstinence required for liver to heal?
