Understanding ALT/AST Ratios and Their Implications for Health:  

​

• ✨ ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) is primarily found in the liver, making it a crucial marker for liver health assessments and potential liver damage.  
• ⚡ AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) exists in various tissues, including the heart and muscles, which makes it less liver-specific compared to ALT.  
• ⚖️ ALT/AST Ratio provides insight into metabolic conditions; a higher ratio may indicate liver disease, while a lower ratio can suggest other health issues.  
• 🔍 Normal Ratios typically range from 1:1 to 2:1; deviations can signal potential health problems, urging further investigation and care.  
• 🩺 Monitoring Ratios regularly helps in tracking liver function and overall metabolic health, aiding in early detection and intervention of illnesses.
