What is hepatitis a?

Comparing AST and ALT from hepatitis A, B and C..what hepatitis is get higher on AST and ALT?

• i want to know what is the hepatitis (between hepatitis A, B and C) get more higher on AST and ALT

• Answer:

  Are you asking which type of Hep. results in elevated ALT compared to AST, i think hep C has the higest ratio A small amount of AST and ALT is normally in your blood, so it's really a large increase over your normal level that indicates a problem.For people with acute viral hepatitis, they might have aminotransferase levels higher than 1,000 IU/L. An AST:ALT ratio equal to one (the level of ALT is higher or equal to AST), but the levels are very high, suggests acute viral hepatitis or drug-related hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio higher than 2:1 (two times the level of AST to ALT) is very suggestive of alcoholic liver disease. An AST:ALT ratio higher than one (where the level of AST is higher than the ALT) could also indicate cirrhosis in a person that doesn't have alcoholic hepatitis Visit this link for more info. http://www.clinlabnavigator.com/Tests/AspartateAminotransferase.html
