Patient's question:
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are too high, what should be noted? The child has had this condition for some time, and as parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
Based on the case information you provided, your issue falls under abnormal liver function, and further clarification on the specific cause is needed! Before a liver function test, fasting is required, with no food or water intake. Eating or drinking can affect the accuracy of the results! It is recommended that you undergo a fasting test. Elevated AST (aspartate aminotransferase) indicates liver damage, and high AST levels are a sign that treatment is needed. It is advised that patients with high AST levels return to the hospital for another examination to determine if the condition is caused by a disease. If it is indeed caused by a disease, timely treatment is essential.
