AST to ALT Ratio

--

Calculation Formula

AST to ALT Ratio = AST / ALT

Where:
AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in the liver
ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) is an enzyme found in the liver
A higher ratio may indicate liver damage or disease

AST to Ratio Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the AST to Ratio Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) value in U/L
  2. Enter the ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) value in U/L
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the AST to ALT ratio
  4. Click "Reset" to clear all inputs and start over

Understanding the Results

The AST to ALT ratio is an important indicator of liver function. A normal AST to ALT ratio is typically between 0.5 and 1.0. A higher ratio may indicate:

  • Alcoholic liver disease
  • Cirrhosis
  • Hepatitis

However, it's important to note that this calculator provides only a numerical result. For a complete diagnosis, consult with a healthcare professional who can interpret the results in the context of your medical history and other tests.

Working Principle

The AST to ALT ratio is calculated by dividing the AST value by the ALT value. AST and ALT are enzymes found in the liver, and their levels in the blood can indicate liver health. While both enzymes are present in the liver, AST is also found in other organs like the heart, muscles, and kidneys. ALT is primarily found in the liver.
