16 SGOT 5 SGPT, ratio 3 is cirrhosis?
My wife's ast/alt ratio is very high at 3 which usually means alcoholic cirrhosis however the u/l levels of each are normal to below normal at 16.5 ast and 5.4 alt. Are these lower levels common in cirrhosis or can this be an indication of another problem? Muscle or kidney perhaps?
Her glucose and cholesterol are normal. She had erythrocytes in urine. She drinks socially. She is 18kgs overweight. She has always had low muscle mass even as baby.
