About the Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT / SGPT) test

Measures ALT enzyme activity in blood. Assessment of liver-cell injury or monitoring medicines.

Before your sample

No fasting is usually necessary. ALT alone does not measure overall liver function or disease severity.

Understanding the result

ALT may rise with multiple liver and non-liver conditions. AST, bilirubin and other tests may be considered.

Clinical safety: A laboratory test is one part of clinical assessment. Do not delay urgent medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding or serious illness.
