Alanine Transaminase (ALT)


Liver function tests help diagnose liver disorders and monitor the activity as well as severity of liver disorders. Alanine transaminase is one of the common tests used to diagnose Liveda.

ALT is an enzyme that is made by the liver cells called hepatocytes. Blood levels of ALT are increased when these hepatocytes are damaged due to hepatitis. The levels are also increased in case of alcoholic liver disease, drug-induced and virus-induced liver disease.
