  3. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT / SGPT)

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT / SGPT)

The enzyme that best shows inflammation or injury of liver cells.

ALT is found mainly in the liver, so a high level usually means liver cells are affected โ€” by fat, a virus or a medicine.

A mild rise is common with fatty liver; your doctor finds the cause from your history and other tests.

Preparation before the test

  • No fasting needed; it can be done any time.
  • Avoid hard exercise the day before.
