   What does Alt mean in a blood test?

   • Alanine transaminase (ALT). ALT is an enzyme found in the liver that helps convert proteins into energy for the liver cells. When the liver is damaged, ALT is released into the bloodstream and levels increase. This test is sometimes referred to as SGPT. Aspartate transaminase (AST). AST is an enzyme that helps the body break down amino acids.

   What are ALT / AST levels?

   • These reference ranges can vary between laboratories, so always check local guidelines. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are enzymes found within liver cells at high concentrations. Raised ALT / AST levels in the blood occur in pathologies that cause liver cell (hepatocyte) inflammation or damage.

   What does AST ALT Alt mean on a liver injury test?

   • AST and ALT are markers of liver cell injury. ALP is linked to injury of the bile ducts — a series of tubes that carry the bile produced by the liver cells and empty into the intestines. Although considered liver injury tests, elevation in any or all of these enzymes does not necessarily mean you have liver damage.
