ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) Test

ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) Test

The ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) test is a blood test used to evaluate liver function. ALT is an enzyme primarily found in the liver but also in other tissues and plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism. ALT levels in the blood can indicate liver health and help diagnose liver conditions.

Preparation for the Test:

1. It is recommended to perform the test in the morning on an empty stomach.
2. The day before the test, avoid fatty and fried foods, alcohol, smoking, and stress.
3. Prescription medications can usually be taken as normal, but do not take over-the-counter medications without consulting your doctor beforehand. In some cases, your doctor may suggest stopping certain medications before the test.
4. It is not recommended to perform blood tests after X-rays or physiotherapy procedures on the same day.
5. Dynamic evaluation of a laboratory test should be performed at the same time of day as the previous test.
