  • Best Price
  • Digital Report

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) measurements are particularly useful in the diagnosis and management of certain liver diseases, e.g., viral hepatitis and cirrhosis.

  • Sample Type: Blood
  • Results: 1-4 days
  • Age: 18+

This test measures levels of Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) in the blood. ALT is an enzyme found in the cells of the liver. Increased levels of ALT are typically produced when the liver is damaged. Testing for ALT can indicate that a person has liver damage even if they are not experiencing any outward symptoms.

ALT testing is often done to monitor treatment for liver disease or when a person is experiencing symptoms of a liver disorder.

Damage to liver cells can be caused by a variety of factors, resulting in an elevation in ALT. The test is most useful for detecting damage caused by hepatitis or medications or other toxins that are harmful to the liver.

As part of a liver panel, ALT is frequently tested alongside aspartate aminotransferase, another liver enzyme. When the liver is injured, both ALT and AST levels rise, albeit ALT is more specific for the liver and may be the only one to rise in some circumstances. An AST/ALT ratio can be used to help distinguish between different types of liver injury and their severity, as well as to distinguish liver injury from heart or muscle damage.

Fasting is not required.
