ALT / AST Ratio Index

This is a mathematical ratio derived from measuring the levels of two key liver enzymes in the blood: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). This ratio reflects the relative pattern of enzyme release from damaged liver cells and helps differentiate between various types of liver disease, as the distribution and ratio of these two enzymes within the cell and their release into the blood vary depending on the nature of the disease causing the damage.
