Liver
AST on TRT
What the number means, why it moves on a protocol, and what people usually do about it.
What it is
AST is a liver enzyme that also lives in muscle and heart. It rises with ALT on liver stress and on its own after training.
The range
TRT-aware target
under 40 U/L
How to read the lab range
Labs quote up to about 40 U/L. AST higher than ALT after training points at muscle; ALT higher than AST points at the liver.
Why it moves on a protocol
- Training, especially eccentric work.
- Orals and alcohol, with ALT.
- Hemolysis in the sample can raise it falsely.
What people usually do · not a recommendation
- Read with ALT, GGT and CK. Rest before the draw.
How Magno reads it
Import the PDF or a photo of the report and Magno finds AST on it, keeps every test on one line, shows the change since the last one, and reads it against TRT-aware thresholds rather than the lab's generic range. The panel it belongs to, Liver, gets a written verdict with the probable causes and what people usually do.

Almost always muscle. A high CK confirms it.
