A member asked:
What is alt to ast ratio?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited usefulness: If liver enzymes are up, finding the ast considerably higher (perhaps twice as high) than the alt is a hint that this may be a problem drinker. A better way to tell is for the physician to make it clear that his/her concern is genuine, and ask.
