AST rate of women by age. Table norm in a blood test, it is

AST levels are normal in women age is different. Therefore, patients at different periods of life produce different conclusions on the results of the laboratory analysis. ACT - a marker of hepatic functionality. Body produces the body's detoxification.

All substances coming into it, go through the hepatocytes, disinfect. It protects a person from frequent infections and toxic effects.

What does AST analysis

To determine the functionality prescribed liver blood chemistry. One of his markers - enzyme AST. Its deviation may indicate an excess of damage in one of the body segments parenchyma. The reason for this may be many diseases, mechanical damage, in health abnormalities.

The most common:

• hepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis;
• the use of drugs in higher doses or duration of the course;
• alcohol abuse;
• the penetration of viruses that affect it in the hepatocytes.

But there is a deviation of human health in addition to liver tissue, which lead to a change in the amount of the enzyme:

• extensive burns;
• serious mechanical damage to the tissues;
• active, exercise duration, disproportionate to the health and functionality of the patient;
• ischemic organ disease.

AST (normal in women over the age of different that the attending physician considers decrypting assay) was determined in venous blood. It determines the optimal parameter corresponding to the truth. But in order to pass the test properly, carefully prepared. If this is not done, the doctor will receive incorrect data, so mistaking diagnosis or completely miss disease.

When the prescribed study

Biochemical prescribed in the following cases:

• preventive examination of the body to identify all of the data on the composition of the blood;
• During treatment of the disease of the cardiovascular system, the liver tissue;
• the constant use of drugs that can affect the biochemical composition of the blood;
• suspected of liver disease in the presence of jaundice, itching, hepatomegaly, splenomigalii, exhaustion of the body;
• Adverse data abdominal ultrasound;
• suspected disease of the cardiovascular system;
• remission or complete recovery, when it is necessary to monitor the state of health of the patient and the activity of its internal bodies;
• emergency patient admission to a medical facility, setting the patient on account of the hospital, elective surgery.

The patient may preventively without a doctor's prescription to be examined. It will not harm their health. Thanks to the test in advance detect diseases that can be avoided in the early stages of development.

Norm indicators for women over the age of

Norma AST women by age is different. This is due to certain metabolic, hepatic tissue functionality. To complete a survey, you must come to the lab in the morning, not eating before the food. For the analysis of venous blood taken.

Age of the patient	The amount of enzyme, u / l
newborn girls	20-80
Children up to six months	15-60
From 6 months to 3 years	15-55
3-18 years	20-50
18 years and older	Not more than 30

AST (the norm in women over the age written into the original tables) is highest at the time of birth. But while approaching the age of majority, this figure falls. The body gradually stops in development, including the abdominal organs. A healthy woman can increase performance.

This is affected by the following physiological factors:

• pregnancy in the first trimester;
• weight gain without obesity;
• use of certain medications without inflammation in the liver and other organs (glucocorticoids, antibiotics, antifungal agents);
• frequent exercise;
• emotional outburst.

In the presence of these factors should be consulted with the doctor, telling him about the rhythm of life, the presence or absence of pregnancy, the frequency of physical activity. If you do not, the data will be taken for inflammation of hepatocytes assigned unnecessary treatment.

How to prepare for the study

To correctly pass all stages of blood test, they are carefully prepared by prior consultation with the doctor. Therapist warned of used drugs. He decides to continue their use or withdrawal.

There are some drugs, without which the patient's health deteriorated (insulin, antipsychotics, cardiovascular drugs). They are left to humans, but take into account the presence of blood.

Before passing the test is completely forbidden to use fatty, fried, salted, smoked foods. Water consumed in moderation as on ordinary days. The food should be steamed, stewed or boiled. It is not recommended to drink sweet drinks. Fully prohibited the use of alcohol, since it causes a sharp increase in transaminases (liver metabolizes alcohol, ethyl alcohol).

On the day of blood donation should postpone smoking. This process is possible only after the intake of the biological fluid.

Avoid stress, emotional stress, psycho-emotional outbursts for 2-3 days before the test. The sharp release of hormones in the blood affects most of the internal organs, including the liver.

They come to the lab on an empty stomach. Excludes the use of any kind of food. Last food intake should be for 8-10 hours before the test. Allowed to drink water. Immediately after blood sampling is recommended to eat sugary foods to restore the glucose in the blood, prevent faint, if it is typical for the patient.

If the training is successful, only 1 sample is required for the test. In cases of gross violations may get unexpected data. According to him the doctor will not be able to identify the state of human health. Require repeated blood donation.

How does the biomaterial fence

Letting blood from a vein occurs in several stages:

• the patient puts his hand on the table, bend it at the elbow;
• shoulder area pinch harness is treated antiseptic cubital fossa;
• the patient is asked to work with his fist a few seconds;
• long needle sterile syringe into a vein cut up, picking up the liquid;
• pull out the needle, is applied to the affected area cotton wool soaked in alcohol;
• People bend your elbow to prevent bleeding.

The process takes less than 2 minutes. Some people can be bad during needle puncture of the skin or blood sampling. In this case, the nurse advised to turn away and not look at the process. If a person becomes ill, he podnesut to the nose cotton wool soaked in ammonia.

How to wait for the result of research

Time to get the research results depends on the workload of the laboratory. If it is in the municipal clinical setting, it may take 2-3 days.

Upon delivery of the biomaterial in a private clinic, the result can be obtained on the same day or the next morning.

There are cases where the patient is urgent. Then, on the referral form be tagged Cito. This means maturity. The results are sent to the physician hands for 1-2 hours.

Explanation responses analysis

The attending physician will never send the patient to the analysis of only one liver enzyme. For complex data prescribed biochemical research.

It includes the following indicators:

• Urea (carbamide) 5,34-12,1 mmol / l;
• Crea (creatinine) 87,3-195,6 mmol / l;
• TP (total protein) 57-87 g / l;
• Ca (calcium) 1,65-2,97 mmol-l;
• Alb (albumin) 25-42 g / l;
• Alkp (alkaline phosphatase) 0-183 U / l;
• Ggt (GGT) - 0-1 U / l;
• Tbil (total bilirubin) 0-6,7 mmol / l;
• Amil (Amylase) 875-2097 U / l;
• Lipa (lipase) 0-81 U / L;
• Triglycerides 0.35-1.2 mmol / l;
• ALT (ALT) 27-77 U / l;
• AST (AST) 13-33 U / l;
• GLOB (globulin) 22-52 g / l;
• PHOS (phosphorus) 0,93-2,23 mmol / l;
• CHOL (cholesterol) 2,13-5,35 mmol / l;
• Glu (glucose) 3,3-5,5 mmol / l;
• CPK 53-450 U / l,
• 133-478 LDH U / l
• Direct bilirubin - absent.

AST (the norm in women over the age of the original is displayed in the data table, which compares the doctor with the results of research) may vary due to improper preparation for analysis. Indicators may rise and fall. If the text is passed right by its results determine the functionality of the liver and other internal organs. The set of data obtained allows us to deliver a reliable diagnosis.

Biochemical test is much more reliable than the CBC. It allows you to evaluate more extensive data. For each organism may be determined by its own characteristics, as each person is different. Therefore, for one AST normally at 10 units, and for the other at 33 units.

Reasons for deviations from normal performance

There are the following reasons on which version of the rules is exceeded:

• inflammatory diseases of the liver, fatty degeneration, the formation of fibrosis;
• hepatitis virus penetration into the parenchyma of liver tissue;
• Mechanical organ damage, disturbance of blood circulation;
• presence of malignant or benign neoplasms in the liver or any other body compartments, with the development of metastasis;
• diseases that lead to muscular tissues of the heart dysfunction;
• chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas, e.g., pancreatitis;

  

• taking certain kinds of drugs;
• hereditary liver disease, congenital anomalies;
• pregnancy in one or moment trimester fetal sharp increase in size before compression of liver tissue.

There are times when transaminase fall:

• inflammatory disease of an infectious nature of the urinary system;
• neoplastic disease;
• hepatitis of alcoholic origin;
• vitamin deficiencies against the backdrop of a lack of vitamin B, which is complicated by the use of alcohol and dieting.

If doctors received data show deviations from the norm variant, once the diagnosis is not put. Man returned for re-investigation, recalling the rules of blood donation. If the second test shows the same data, the doctor may put a definite diagnosis.

Which could affect the accuracy of the study?

If the patient has received over or under the data, but it is healthy, the following factors may have influenced the result of the study:

• no diet analysis before commissioning;
• alcohol intake, use of large doses of nicotine;
• the use of food to blood donation;
• violation of the rules of collection and transfer of biological material by medical personnel;
• prolonged standing blood without testing;
• errors in the conduct of medical research laboratory personnel;
• a lot of stress, excitement, human experience before donation.

For reliability by repeated measurements.

How much is a study where they spend

If the doctor has given a direction to conduct research in the municipal medical institutions, it will be free. If the patient does not have direction or it goes to a private institution for the collection of biological material and carrying out the test are paid from 500 to 800 rubles. Price may vary depending on the clinic margins.

What to do with deviations? Fundamentals and stages of treatment

If the indicator has deviated by a small number of units, it does not mean the presence of the disease in the body. The reason may be a temporary glitch, poor diet, stress. For accurate diagnosis, doctors prescribe more research.

They may include:

• general clinical blood test;
• coprogram;
• general clinical urine analysis;
• Abdominal ultrasound;
• CT and MRI of the affected organ.

Defining the focus of damage, prescribe medications, physiotherapy, diet. The main reason for increasing or decreasing AST - inflammatory liver disease.

For their treatment prescribed the following drugs:

• hepatoprotective drugs;
• vegetable gepatoprotektory based on milk thistle and other people's money;
• preparations based on phospholipids;
• strict diet;
• complete absence of alcohol;
• in some cases, anti-inflammatory agents.

Untreated or its efficiency, the liver is damaged further, is formed and growth of fibrous tissue, cirrhosis. In this case the only method of therapy is liver transplantation.

Norma AST differs by age in women and men. Completely information about the body's state, it may not show. Therefore, when determining the conduct identification and other blood data. Additionally apply instrumental methods of examination to identify an accurate diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
