AST test in Downtown Dubai, read by a doctor.
Most Downtown Dubai residents who book a AST with us have either a family history, a vague symptom they can't shake, or a "borderline" result from somewhere else. Same as ALT.
Why Downtown Dubai patients use us
From Burj Khalifa residences to the apartments around Dubai Mall and Opera District, Downtown Dubai is one of our busiest home visit areas. A British-trained doctor can typically reach you within 60–90 minutes, whether you're dealing with a sudden fever, need blood tests before a work trip, or want a proper health check without the wait times of a hospital. We also regularly see guests staying at Downtown hotels — if you've fallen ill on holiday or during a business trip, our doctors can come to your room, assess you properly, and arrange prescriptions directly with the hotel pharmacy.
What AST actually tells us
An enzyme found in liver and muscle — used alongside ALT to assess liver health.
Always interpreted with ALT and the AST:ALT ratio.
