The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is a blood test that checks for liver damage. ALT used to be called serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). So, it's sometimes called an SGPT test. Your doctor can use this test to see if a disease, drug, or injury has damaged your liver. T...
A normal range of ALT resulting from an alanine aminotransferase test for an adult human is 0-40 units/liter. Ranges can vary, however, depending on genders, and even animal species. Test results may also vary from one testing laboratory to another. ...

Objective: To investigate the association between serum ALT level within reference range (≤40 U/L) and morbidity of MetS in a large middle-aged and elderly Chinese community population. Methods: Our study was a community-based cross-sectional survey which used cluster sampling method. From Novemb...
Alanineaminotransferase(ALT) is anenzymewhich catalyzes the conversion ofalanineand α-ketoglutarate topyruvateandglutamatecontributing to cellularnitrogen metabolismand livergluconeogenesis. Normal level ofALTin the bloodstream typically range from 27.0+17.3 IU/L for males and 17.7+11.2 IU/L fo...

Alanine Aminotransferase or Alanine Transaminase (ALT) This is also known asserum glutamic pyruvate transaminase(SGPT).ALTis produced in the cells of the liver. The level is abnormally raised when these cells have been inflamed or have died. The ALT leaks out of the cells into the bloodstream ...
ALT (alanine aminotransferase); NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis). 2.2. NAFLD Activity Score NAFLD activity score (NAS) is a sum of steatosis (0–3), inflammation (0–3) and ballooning (0–2) scores. Improvement in NAS was defined as at least 2 point decrease in NAS [16] from 0 ...
How can I get an alanine aminotransferase test? Testing for ALT is normally done as part of a panel of measurements prescribed by a physician. The ALT test is performed on a blood sample typically taken from a vein in your arm in a hospital, laboratory, clinic, or doctor’s office. ...
