Introduction
The normal range for serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is generally 10–40 U/L. Serum aspartate aminotransferase, also known as glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), is a liver function indicator. Patients are advised to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, engage in appropriate physical exercise, and enhance their immune system. If any discomfort occurs, they should promptly go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.

Serum aspartate aminotransferase, also known as aspartate transaminase (AST), is a liver function marker. It is primarily present in tissues such as the liver, heart muscle, skeletal muscle, and kidneys. When these tissues are damaged or affected by disease, serum aspartate aminotransferase is released into the bloodstream. Therefore, measuring serum aspartate aminotransferase levels can help assess the extent of tissue damage and disease status in organs such as the liver, heart, and muscles. The normal reference range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and testing method used, but it is typically 10–40 U/L. Elevated levels beyond this range may indicate liver damage or other underlying diseases, necessitating further evaluation and treatment.
Patients are advised to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, engage in appropriate physical activity, and strengthen their immune systems. If any discomfort occurs, they should promptly visit a hospital for a comprehensive examination and receive treatment based on their specific condition.
