Organ function
AST
Also written as Aspartate aminotransferase.
Core panel — run every month
What it indicates
An enzyme found in the liver and also in muscle tissue.
Why a series helps
Because it also comes from muscle, AST rises after hard training, which a series makes obvious and a single test does not.
What this page does not tell you
What a particular AST result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
