What is AST normal range?

The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is about 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood). The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is about 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.

What level of AST indicates liver damage?

The AST is typically in the 100 to 200 IU/L range, even in severe disease, and the ALT level may be normal, even in severe cases. The AST level is higher than the ALT level, and the ratio is greater than 2:1 in 70% of patients. A ratio greater than 3 is strongly indicative of alcoholic hepatitis.

How can I lower my AST and ALT levels naturally?

Drinking coffee. Drinking coffee can help to lower ALT levels.

Losing excess weight.
Increasing folic acid intake.
Making dietary changes.
Reducing high cholesterol.
Taking care with medications or supplements.
Avoiding alcohol, smoking, and environmental toxins.

Is ALT of 35 high?

What is ALT? The normal range for ALT is 10-40 units per liter (U/L) of blood for men and 7-35 U/L for women.

Is 70 a high ALT level?

Normal levels of AST and ALT may slightly vary depending on the individual laboratory’s reference values. Typically the range for normal AST is reported between 10 to 40 units per liter and ALT between 7 to 56 units per liter. Mild elevations are generally considered to be 2-3 times higher than the normal range.

Is 50 a high ALT level?

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found mainly in the liver. High levels (>50) indicate damage to liver cells as a result of infection (hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, etc.) or toxic levels of drugs (e.g. acetaminophen [Tylenol]) or chemicals (e.g. chloroform) or alcohol.

What is a bad ALT level?

ALT blood levels are a marker of liver health: low levels typically indicate a healthy liver, while high levels suggest liver damage [3]. The normal range is around 7-35 U/L in women and 7-40 U/L in men. There may be some lab-to-lab variability in ranges due to differences in equipment, techniques, and chemicals used.

Is an alt of 75 bad?

Chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Very high levels (>75 times upper reference limit) suggest ischaemic or toxic (poison or medicine related) injury to the liver. Ischaemic liver damage is mostly seen in patients with other serious illnesses such as septicaemia or collapse.

Is ALT of 30 high?

One recent population study excluded people at risk for NAFLD and concluded that the “healthy range” for serum ALT should be up to 30 U/L for men and 19 U/L for women3.

Is Alt 34 bad?

Alanine transferase (ALT) A high ALT level can be a sign of liver damage. An ALT level between: 10-50 IU/L is considered normal for men. 10-35 IU/L is considered normal for women.

Is 34 a high ALT level?

According to the American College of Gastroenterology, the normal value for ALT in blood for people without risk factors for liver disease ranges from 29 to 33 international units per liter (IU/L) for males and 19 to 25 IU/L for females.

What is the upper limit of normal for ALT?

These studies suggested that the upper limit of normal ALT should be revised and the recommendations are 30 U/L for men and 19 U/L for women respectively [4], [5], [6], [7].

When should I worry about ALT levels?

A high ALT level can indicate a liver problem, which is why doctors often use an ALT test when diagnosing liver conditions. Several things can cause high ALT levels, including: nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) over-the-counter pain medications, especially acetaminophen.
