The AST test measures the level of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), an enzyme found primarily in the liver, heart, muscles, and other tissues. Elevated AST levels can indicate liver injury, muscle damage, or other conditions affecting these organs.
This test is commonly used to help assess liver health and is often ordered alongside other liver enzymes to evaluate unexplained fatigue, abdominal pain, or abnormal liver function results.
