Liver Blood Tests 1 The blood tests most frequently used for liver disease are the aminotransferases (alanine aminotransferase or ALT and aspartate aminotransferase or AST). 2  Normal levels of ALT ranges from about 7-56 units/liter, and 10-40units/liters for AST. Many drugs may cause elevated AST, and ALT and some medications can cause severe damage (for example, acetaminophen [ Tylenol liver damage]). 2  Less common causes of abnormal AST and ALT levels are wide ranging (for example, toxins, and autoimmune diseases).

- ^ Back to top. Normally, levels of ALT in the blood are low. Very high levels of ALT (more than 10 times normal) are usually due to acute hepatitis, sometimes due to a viral infection. In acute hepatitis, ALT levels usually stay high for about 1-2 months but can take as long as 3-6 months to return to normal.

What Is the Normal Range for Liver Enzymes? What are normal AST and ALT liver enzyme levels? The normal range for AST is between 10 and 40 units per liter, and the normal range for ALT is 7 to 56 units per liter, according to eMedicineHealth. AST and ALT measurements are part of a routine liver enzyme test used to diagnose and monitor liver disease, explains WebMD.

- The ALT blood test measures the level of the enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT) in the blood. ALT is found primarily in the liver, but is also found in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. The ALT test checks how well your liver is working and evaluates its overall health. The ALT test was formerly called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). ALT is typically measured to determine if the liver is damaged or diseased. If the liver is damaged or diseased, it will release ALT into the blood.

- Generally, the levels of AST ranges from 5 to 43 or 45 units per liter and of ALT from 7 to 56 or 60 units per liter. The upper level tends to be lower in females.A. The serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), now referred to as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), called alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are enzymes whose levels are tested to detect liver damage from any cause.They also rise in muscle and heart disease.enerally, the levels of AST ranges from 5 to 43 or 45 units per liter and of ALT from 7 to 56 or 60 units per liter. The upper level tends to be lower in females.

Liver Blood Enzymes ALT (SGPT) is, by contrast, normally found largely in the liver. This is not to say that it is exclusively located in liver but that is where it is most concentrated. It is released into the bloodstream as the result of liver injury. It therefore serves as a fairly specific indicator of liver status. What Are Normal Levels of AST and ALT? The normal range of values for AST (SGOT) is from 5 to 40 units per liter of serum (the liquid part of the blood). The normal range of values for ALT (SGPT) is from 7 to 56 units per liter of serum.

Aspartate Aminotransferase Another enzyme, alanine aminotransferase or ALT, is primarily found in the liver. AST and ALT are often measured together as part of a liver function panel to detect liver damage. Liver diseases in which AST is higher than ALT include alcohol-induced liver damage, cirrhosis, and liver tumors.

- Liver Enzyme Tests. Alanine Transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly found in your liver. The ALT test measures the level of ALT in your blood. Consistently high levels of ALT in your blood can be a sign of liver damage. Aspartate Transaminase (AST) is an enzyme found in large amounts in your liver and other parts of your body. The AST test measures the level of AST in your blood.

The AST/ALT Story In most types of liver disease, the ALT level is higher than AST and the AST/ALT ratio will be low (less than 1). There are a few exceptions; the AST/ALT ratio is usually increased in alcoholic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and in the first day or two of acute hepatitis or injury from bile duct obstruction.

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)  [en EspaÃ±ol] Most increases in ALT levels are caused by liver damage. The ALT test is often done along with other tests that check for liver damage, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and bilirubin. Both ALT and AST levels are reliable tests for liver damage. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is done to: Identify liver disease, especially cirrhosis and hepatitis caused by alcohol, drugs, or viruses.

- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT). Guide. An alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. ALT is found mainly in the liver, but also in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. ALT was formerly called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT).LT is measured to see if the liver is damaged or diseased. Low levels of ALT are normally found in the blood. But when the liver is damaged or diseased, it releases ALT into the bloodstream, which makes ALT levels go up.

Liver Test Interpretation - Approach to the Patient with Liver Disease: A Guide to Commonly Used Liver Tests Acute alcoholic hepatitis may be mild or life threatening. The pattern of liver test abnormality is hepatocellular. The AST is typically in the 100 to 200 IU/L range, even in severe disease, and the ALT level may be normal, even in severe cases. The AST level is higher than the ALT level, and the ratio is greater than 2:1 in 70% of patients. A ratio greater than 3 is strongly indicative of alcoholic hepatitis.

Elevated transaminases Elevated levels are sensitive for liver injury, meaning that they are likely to be present if there is injury. However, they may also be elevated in other conditions such as thyroid disorders, celiac disease, and muscle disorders. ALT is usually found only in the liver. AST is most commonly found in the liver, but also in significant amounts in heart (cardiac) and skeletal muscle.

Human Liver Anatomy, Function, Location, Parts & Diseases An increased ALT level is usually a sign of liver disease. Liver disease is even more likely when the levels of substances checked by other liver blood tests have also increased. An increased ALT level may be due to any of the following: Scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) Death of liver tissue. Swollen and inflamed liver (hepatitis) Too much iron in the body (hemochromatosis) Too much fat in the liver (fatty liver) Lack of blood flow to the liver (liver ischemia) Liver tumor or cancer. Use of drugs that are toxic to the liver.
