Normal AST and ALT levels.........

Posted By: EvaEv on 2008-05-09
In Reply to: Doctor dictates ALT 1413 and AST 681? Should it be 14.31 and 6.81? TIA! - ak

Subject: Normal AST and ALT levels.........

From Google:

What are normal levels of AST and ALT?

The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.

The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood).

Persistent transaminasemia and fatty liver. Their use in the diagnosis of presymptomatic Wilson's disease


A. E. Stillman and L. R. Rohr

A 41/2-year-old asymptomatic girl with persistent elevated serum transaminase levels for eight months was found to have Wilson's disease. The diagnosis was suspected by the presence of fatty liver and nonspecific chronic hepatitis on liver biopsy and was proved by studies of copper metabolism, including determinations of serum ceruloplasmin and hepatic copper concentrations. Unexplained persistent transaminase elevation in children demand investigation by needle liver biopsy. Th presence of fatty liver and hepatitis should raise the possibility of Wilson's disease, which may then be confirmed by more specific tests. Advantages to early diagnosis include the institution of specific therapy and prevention of progressive liver disease.

I guess it would depend on what you patient is being studied for. It may not be LH at all? Sorry

Subject: Protein S is a vitamin K–dependent anticoagulant protein, thus low levels tend to

increase the tendency for coagulation/DVT. In this regard, I agree with you.

However, maybe the elevation of protein S at the time of the DVT rules out protein S deficiency as a probable cause of the thrombotic episode. Is there any such implication? The clotting mechanism involves a complex cascade of activation events of numerous factors, and Protein S is just one cofactor for another anticoagulant protein.

Still, it would be wise to flag the doctor and let him put the final word.
