An aminotransferase ratio of 0.5 may be due to viral hepatitis. You should refer to the respective values of AST and ALT at the same time. If the values of both are abnormal, it is recommended to go to the hospital for further examination.
Aminotransferase is used for liver function tests, it refers to the ratio of AST/ALT, and the reference range is 0.8~1.5. When the values of AST and ALT are abnormal, the ratio will have reference value.
An aminotransferase ratio of 0.5 may be associated with viral hepatitis. An alanine aminotransferase >300 U/L and an aliquot aminotransferase >200 U/L with a ratio of <1 is an important test for the diagnosis of viral hepatitis.
In case of abnormal aminotransferase ratio results, it is recommended to seek prompt medical attention to clarify the cause of the disease with the help of a doctor and to carry out targeted management or treatment.
