AST on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and how it sits with related markers.
What it is
AST is a liver enzyme that also lives in muscle and heart. It rises with ALT on liver stress and on its own after training.
The range
How to read the lab range
Labs quote up to about 40 U/L. AST higher than ALT after training points at muscle; ALT higher than AST points at the liver.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Training, especially eccentric work.
- Alcohol and some medications, with ALT.
- Hemolysis in the sample can raise it falsely.

AST high but ALT normal?
Often muscle. A high CK in the same test supports that.
