Liver Injury Marker Aspartate Transaminase Test Strips Dry Chemical Method

This Aspartate transferase (AST) Test Strip can quantitatively measure the AST amount in blood sample. AST test can help assess the liver health condition, and provide insight into other health conditions as well.
Aspartate transferase (AST), also known as aspartate aminotransferase, is an enzyme that exists in the liver, heart, brain, pancreas, kidneys, muscles and many tissues in the body. Although it can be found throughout your body, AST is most commonly associated with liver health.
When the cells get damaged, AST can leak into the bloodstream. Because of this, high levels of AST in a blood sample can be a sign of an underlying medical condition — most often (but not always), a liver condition.
As many types of liver conditions can cause AST levels in the blood to rise, healthcare providers don’t use the test alone to diagnose conditions. An AST blood test is most often included in a blood test panel, such as a liver enzyme panel (HFP) or a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). A blood panel measures several aspects of your blood with one sample and can provide more detailed information about your overall health.
