Abstract

Objective: "Diagnostic significance of AST/ALT ratios and GGT in patients with alcoholic liVer disease and Viral hepatitis". Subjects and Methods: A prospectiVe cross-sectional descriptiVe study. Including 51 patients with alcoholic liVer disease and 36 patients with Viral hepatitis treated at Thanh Ba Medical Center from May 2021 to September 2022. Results: Mean age was 52.6 years old. Male accounted for 90.8%, female accounted for 9.2%. Clinical symptoms: fatigue (46%), jaundice (37.9%), anorexia (35.6%), hepatomegaly (34.5%). Alcoholic liVer disease has eleVated serum GGT leVels (384.41±57.31U/L), AST (136.72±47.62 U/L) is higher than ALT (83.42±31.49)


U/L). Patients with Viral hepatitis ALT (292.41±53.61U/L)     was     higher      than      ASTpatients with Viral hepatitis (0.48), the AST/ALT ratio is less than 1.
