Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Xing Jian
The normal reference range for serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is 0–40 U/L. If serum AST levels are elevated, it is advisable to visit a hospital for relevant tests—including complete blood count, liver function tests, and renal function tests—and then select targeted treatment based on the physician’s diagnostic findings. During treatment, ensure adequate rest, drink plenty of warm water, and promptly replenish bodily fluids.
