OBJECTIVE: Despite previous research that focused on liver transaminases as predictors of cardiovascular disease, there has been limited research evaluating the predictive value of AST/ALT ratio in ...

Liver tests should be obtained in all patients with suspected DILI. Calculating the ratio of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) value/ALT upper limit of normal (ULN) divided by the alkaline ...

Having persistently high liver enzyme levels present in early adulthood is a strong predictor of type 2 diabetes risk. Learn ...

Altered liver enzymes consistently were tied to Alzheimer's disease, an observational study of older adults showed. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratios were ...

During a recent routine check-up, my wife, 32, was found to have an AST/ALT ratio of 1.6. She is non-alcoholic, has no ...

A new study shows a strong link between altered liver function and the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This correlates with recent data on the role played by diseases affecting the systemic ...
