When the AST is higher than ALT, a muscle source of these enzymes should be considered. For example, muscle inflammation due to dermatomyositis may cause AST>ALT. This is a good reminder that AST and ALT are not good measures of liver function because they do not reliably reflect the synthetic ability of the liver and they may come from tissues other than liver (such as muscle).
I am preparing for FRACGP and was browsing on the Internet to search for interesting medical lectures and fell in love with these lectures ..They are simple,appropriate very educative,easy to remember. A request to add some lectures on diabetes and management please. Thank you Sir for your lovely videos
I am a Nurse in Singapore! Sincerely want to let u know that i am very glad that u have created and shared this video! They are very helpful to me! thank you very much! Looking forward to more of them! XD
Treating liver failure with transplanted hepatocytes is a promising new approach to reverse damage and stabilize liver metabolism. There are still many major challenges with this new cell therapy approach although not as many as with organ transplants.
Correction: hep BsAg would be present during acute infection, while appearance of anti-Ag surface would represent clearance. Thanks for great lectures!
Sheet dhara syrup is a herbal preparation for fatty liver that is formulated with ingredients like ajwain satv, peppermint, & mushk kapoor. These all in combination provide a cooling & calming effect on the body. The symptoms like loss of appetite, general weakness, indigestion, hyperacidity, abdominal pain related to fatty liver patients are treated with this syrup.
I have a family member in a war torn country with liver issues. Is there anyone who can look at current test and studies and help me understand what I am reading?
don't the AST and ALT stay relatively normal with hep B and C, as they are chronic diseases? so like, don't they change, gradually becoming more pronounced?
I have liver failure and a learning disability, so I'm wasting my time trying to understand anything about it. Since I've been ignored from every site that contradict one another, I won't get the help I'm asking for. So my liver will get worse. Oh, well!
One thing might help is that the ALT is a cytoplasmic enzyme while the AST is mitochondrial enzyme . So with hepatic cytolysis the membrane is more permeable to the contents of the cytoplasm by which the ALT will leak in greater amount into the blood plasma , while AST will leak in acute hepatocyte destruction . I hope this rings a bell

finally, I understand interpreting LFTs and Hep B serology results make more sense too. Thanks so much
Thank you so much! The textbooks were making my head spin
Greetings Medcram of this festive season. So well presented. I wish you prosperity for sharing such beautiful and easy learning.. Thank you
Thanks a lot doc 😊
Hope it will help me in tommorow exam
Great!!!
Described a lot of clinical in fraction .

Awesomely informative and perfectly explained! Thank you so much! 😊😊 17/9/2019
my ast is 44 and alt is 59. normal range is 40 for both.
exactly what I was looking for! Thanks a lot.
AST is usually double that of ALT in chronic alcoholics. A helpful pneumonic from a professor - ace, scotch, and tonic - 2 rounds pls!
wow ,medicine made easy .... thanks for uploading!!!!!!!!!!!
in hep B infection. antibodies to s is absent. antibodies to c is present. solo anti Hbs means vaccinated or immunized.
This really cleared my concepts.
10:00 Hemochromatosis causes *Restrictive cardiomyopathy* (NOT constrictive) is what I am told
Does Hemochromatosis also occur with patients who have “Thalassemia” or also known as “Cooley’s Anemia”?
Hemachromatosis, my mom died of this a few years ago build up off iron gathered in her liver never a heavy drinker ?
very helpful as i'm going to take my NCLEX soon. thank you
Hi
This is amazing

Where's the part on cholestatic disease! Boards Monday!
where is the part 2?
I have a family member in a war torn country with liver issues. Is there anyone who can look at current test and studies and help me understand what I am reading?
Thank you for your efforts sir ❤️
Thank you for the comment!
Awesome video! Was wondering if you would be interested in making a video about irritable bowel syndrome vs inflammatory bowel disease. Cheers
Could you please explain the role of liver in producing Insulin-like growth factor 1(somatomedin C) ??
Excellent stuff. How about CVA
don't the AST and ALT stay relatively normal with hep B and C, as they are chronic diseases? so like, don't they change, gradually becoming more pronounced?
help!? would a metal toxic show in these types of test?
Sir can u make a video about SSRI's
thanks
10:43 Lol, we all remember this episode from House MD... XD
amazing explanation!!
Thank you!
thanks alot ,keep going ☺
Thanks!
Pizz 22%. Should I see a liver specialist?
great
Thanx

thx
I had hepatitis a my ALT reached 550 I was so tired
abadiqaisy123 hi
Sachin Yadav hi
NO CLEAR LOGIC OR UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHY AST IS LESS ELEVATED OR MORE ELEVATED THAN ALT . TOTAL TIME WASTE
One thing might help is that the ALT is a cytoplasmic enzyme while the AST is mitochondrial enzyme . So with hepatic cytolysis the membrane is more permeable to the contents of the cytoplasm by which the ALT will leak in greater amount into the blood plasma , while AST will leak in acute hepatocyte destruction . I hope this rings a bell
Thank you. This one is better
Hello
Palatable basics.
Roger youve got some good karma coming your way:)
Lecture is good but presentation is not attractive
