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 — 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.
