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

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).

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!

[@tinasaini2529]

AST is usually double that of ALT in chronic alcoholics. A helpful pneumonic from a professor - ace, scotch, and tonic - 2 rounds pls!

[@na191able]

Thank you so much! The textbooks were making my head spin

[@karenadesouza932]

finally, I understand interpreting LFTs and Hep B serology results make more sense too. Thanks so much

[@ReelX4U]

Does Hemochromatosis also occur with patients who have “Thalassemia” or also known as “Cooley’s Anemia”?

[@drsairamemon4058]

in hep B infection. antibodies to s is absent. antibodies to c is present. solo anti Hbs means vaccinated or immunized.

[@Abhi5harma]

my ast is 44 and alt is 59. normal range is 40 for both.

[@GS-hf6ds]

[@hamzahashim726]

Does hbsag become negative from boarderline. My value was 1.82 then 1.33..then again raise to 1.58 and now 1.35 as per abbott elisa.

[@stnsafira]

where is the part 2?

[@tartanhandbag]

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?

[@wendyjoyfletcher3937]

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?

[@VanDowall]

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!

[@MsLew83]

Thank you!

Hello

[@MIslamSachi]

Palatable basics.

[@akshaypatil4480]

NO CLEAR LOGIC OR UNDERSTANDING AS TO WHY AST IS LESS ELEVATED OR MORE ELEVATED THAN ALT . TOTAL TIME WASTE

[@alexgrandizer2185]

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

[@akshaypatil4480]

Thank you. This one is better

[@yeserah]

Lecture is good but presentation is not attractive

[@chillztah]

Roger youve got some good karma coming your way:)
