Overview of the AST (Aspartate Transaminase) Blood Test
The AST (Aspartate Transaminase) Blood Test, also known as the Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) Test, measures the level of the AST enzyme in your blood. AST is found primarily in the liver but is also present in the heart, skeletal muscles, kidneys and other tissues. Measuring AST levels can provide useful information about tissue health and is commonly included in liver function assessments.
This is a single-biomarker liver enzyme test that measures Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST). It may be requested to help assess liver health, investigate abnormal liver function tests, monitor known liver conditions or evaluate muscle-related conditions alongside other laboratory investigations.
People may choose this test if they have symptoms that may be associated with liver function, are monitoring an existing condition, are taking medications that require liver monitoring, or simply wish to check an important liver enzyme as part of a proactive health assessment.
The AST Blood Test provides valuable laboratory information but does not diagnose liver disease or any other medical condition on its own. Results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, medications and other laboratory findings by a suitably qualified healthcare professional.
What Does the Advanced Bone Screen Check?
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) - is an enzyme found in the liver, heart and muscles. Elevated AST levels may indicate tissue injury or inflammation and are often interpreted alongside ALT to assess liver health.
Who May Benefit From the AST (Aspartate Transaminase) Blood Test ?
This test may be suitable for people who want to:
Assess liver enzyme levels and help identify whether AST may be raised.
Monitor known liver conditions and track changes over time under clinical supervision.
Investigate abnormal liver function tests and provide additional information for follow-up assessment.
Monitor liver health while taking certain medications that may affect liver enzymes.
Support investigations into muscle-related symptoms alongside other tests, since AST can also rise with muscle injury.
Check liver health as part of a routine health assessment or broader wellness screening.
Monitor changes in AST levels over time to see whether results are improving, stable or worsening.
Obtain laboratory information before consulting a GP or specialist to support further discussion.
Arrange a private blood test in London without waiting for a GP referral or long appointment delays.
Provide a convenient way to review AST levels if you want fast, private testing with secure results.

Your blood sample is analysed at an accredited laboratory using validated methods to measure Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) levels.
Receive your results securely
Your laboratory report will be sent securely by email. GP consultation options are available remotely, at home, by AI-assisted review and in clinic if required.
When Will I Receive My Results?
Results are typically available within 1 day after the laboratory receives your sample.
Once laboratory analysis has been completed, your report will be sent securely by email.
Turnaround times begin when the laboratory receives your sample rather than when it is collected. Although most results are available within one day, occasional laboratory quality assurance procedures may extend turnaround times. Results outside the expected range should be reviewed with a GP or suitably qualified healthcare professional.
Understanding Your Results
Your report will include your Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) result together with the laboratory reference range.
Reference ranges may vary slightly between laboratories because of differences in analytical methods. A result within the reference range does not always exclude liver or muscle conditions, while an elevated result does not automatically identify the underlying cause.
AST levels should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, medications, alcohol intake, exercise levels and other laboratory tests, particularly ALT and other liver function markers. If you have concerns regarding your results, speak with your GP or another suitably qualified healthcare professional.
