Normal Values of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Disease description:
I saw that the test report mentions aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Could you please tell me the normal reference range for AST?

Dr. Zhao Haiming
The normal range for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is typically 0–40 units per liter. If a patient experiences physical discomfort and undergoes liver function testing at a reputable hospital, an AST level exceeding this normal range may indicate liver damage. Prompt treatment with hepatoprotective medications—under a physician’s guidance—is essential. Additionally, patients should avoid fatty foods and alcohol in daily life to prevent interference with recovery.
