AST test in Dubai Marina, read by a doctor.
AST is one of the most ordered tests by our British-trained GPs for Dubai Marina patients — and for good reason. An AST:ALT ratio >2 suggests alcohol-related liver injury; >1 in advanced fibrosis.
Why Dubai Marina patients use us
Dubai Marina's mix of apartments, hotels and a large international community means our home visit service here covers everything from a same-day doctor for a sick child, to ongoing elderly care for a parent staying with family, to IV therapy after a long flight. Our nurses and doctors know the Marina well — the towers, the access procedures, the best times to avoid traffic — so when you call, we're not starting from scratch. Most Marina residents are seen within 60–90 minutes, and for ongoing needs like elderly care or chronic condition management, you'll have the same named GP every time.
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.
