ast_alt_ratio_interpret

The De Ritis Ratio has been used clinically and in research for almost 50 years and is simply the ratio of aspartate transferase to alanine transferase. Validated in many cohorts, interpretations vary, and as such, I simply define a ratio of above 0.8 as indicative of liver injury, commonly agreed upon in the literature.

Collection of indices and tools relating to cardiovascular, nephrology, and hepatic research that aid epidemiological chort or retrospective chart review with big data. All indices and tools take commonly used lab values and patient demographics and measurements to compute various risk and predictive values for survival. References to original literature and validation contained in each function documentation.
