Interesting, so the ratio of AST/ALT changes for different liver diseases? Is there a wide range of possible ratios dependent on the source of liver damage?
Yeah! Ethanol produces more reactive oxygen species (ROS), which preferentially targets mitochondrial cells. Since AST is a mitochondrial enzyme, when those cells lyse, much more AST is released in the peripheral circulation.
