High AST Levels: Understanding Your Results & What They Mean


Question
Hi:  I just received my blood work results and my AST was high.  What does AST stand for and what can I do to lower my results?  Thank you.

Answer
Hi Janet.  In order to help you further, I would need the actual AST result.  The normal range for ALT is approximately 13-39.  If it's only a little high, then it's probably clinically insignificant, unless other liver enzymes (such as ALT and ALP) are also high.
