Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Blood Test

Price: £11.00 VAT

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), a cytoplasmic enzyme in liver that is present in a higher concentration here so it is considered more specific for liver damage.

Aminotransferases are most useful in the diagnosis (e.g. early stages of viral hepatitis) and monitoring of hepatocellular disease, but can also be very high in acute cholestatic disease (especially choledocholithiasis). Marked elevations may also be seen in acute profound hypotension and acute cardiac failure.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Blood Test

This test measures the named biochemical marker, which can provide information relevant to organ function or metabolic status. It may be used to investigate symptoms, contribute to monitoring, or support assessment of a known condition.

Abnormal results can have several explanations and do not establish a diagnosis on their own. Interpretation should take account of other results, medicines, medical history, and the laboratory’s reference interval.

Please follow the specimen collection and preparation instructions. Confirm any fasting or special handling requirements with the laboratory before collection.
