A member asked:

What does ast 51 high lab results mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gurmukh Singh answered

Elevated but not too: High. Alcohol intake is the usual cause for elevation of ast. See this site for other causes. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003472.htm.

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.
