Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), also known as Aspartate Transaminase (AST), is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the heart, muscles, kidneys, and brain.
AST blood test measures the level of AST in the blood. When cells containing AST are damaged, AST is released into the bloodstream, leading to elevated AST levels. This elevation serves as a diagnostic marker for various conditions, particularly those affecting the liver.
The full form of AST is Aspartate Aminotransferase
