Can AST levels return to normal

I'm looking for some help understanding AST levels. Can anyone explain if it is possible for AST levels to return to normal after being elevated? I've been researching online and there seems to be conflicting information. I would really appreciate any advice or experience anyone can share.

Can AST levels return to normal?

What is AST?

AST, or aspartate aminotransferase, is an enzyme found in the liver and other organs. It is released into the bloodstream when the liver is damaged, and its levels can be measured with a simple blood test. Elevated AST levels can indicate a problem with the liver, such as cirrhosis, fatty liver disease, or hepatitis.

Can AST levels return to normal?

Yes, AST levels can return to normal. Depending on the underlying cause of the elevated AST levels, treatment may be necessary to restore normal levels. Treatments for liver diseases, such as medications or lifestyle changes, can help reduce AST levels. In some cases, AST levels may return to normal without treatment, especially if the cause is temporary or mild.
