I have non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease. so far i did 8 tests and always ALT level was greater than AST level even in normal tests. Today I did another blood test and all liver enzymes were normal but it was the first time that AST (32 U/L) is greater than ALT (=27 U/L). I have read from many websites that a ratio of AST/ALT>1 may be a sign of cirrhosis. I have pain my left chest and arm and I afraid that it may be liver related. Is AST/ALT>1 in diagnosing cirrhosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver valid for elevated liver enzymes or is this ratio also valid for normal enzymes? I will be happy for your comments.

Both of these numbers are in the normal range.
As you have a diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease I assume you are being seen by a hepatologist. It would be irresponsible for anyone here to tell you that you may have cirrhosis ba
