ALT-(in cytosol)-more specific for liver disease
AST-(mitochondrial enzyme) AST is greater then ALT in Alcoholic liver disease-but enzyme livels are rarely greater then 5 or 6 times normal
In viral hepatitis enzyme levels could be 15 - 20 times normal [U/L]
In obstructive jaundice the AP and GGT are markedly increased
