A liver-cell enzyme; increased levels in the bloodstream are indicative of liver-cell injury.
One of the transaminases found only in the liver that when found in high levels may indicate inflammation or damage to the liver.
A liver enzyme, measured through a blood test, that indicates the health of the liver. Lower counts are better. Levels may go up because of hepatitis and other infections, or because of drug toxicities
(a. transaminase; ALT) aminotransferases are enzymes that facilitate the conversion of one amino acid into another, thus helping to maintain a balanced supply of amino acid building blocks for protein synthesis. Elevated alanine amino transferase activity provides a useful indicator for liver disorders.
An enzyme that is found mainly in the liver and in other tissues of the body. When the liver is damaged, this enzyme is released into the bloodstream. ALT levels can be measured to determine if the liver is damaged or diseased.
a liver enzyme. The ALT test determines the level of this enzyme in the blood. Blood donors who show a high level of ALT may be at increased risk of transmitting Hepatitis.
A liver enzyme that when present in abnormally high levels in the blood, it may be an indication of a heart attack or liver problems.
An enzyme found in the blood. Primarily produced by injured hepatocytes and is a marker of inflammation. Therefore, elevated levels of ALT usually indicate liver cell damage or necrosis (cell death).
An enzyme which, when found in the blood in elevated quantities, generally indicates liver inflammation.
an enzyme that is normally found in the liver cells and in the blood; an increase in ALT levels may indicate liver damage
(Also called ALT, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, and SGPT) A liver enzyme that is usually present in liver and heart cells and plays a distinct role in protein metabolism. Alanine aminotransferase is released into blood when the liver or heart is damaged, and an elevated serum level is a sign of liver or heart damage. Medications can also raise alanine aminotransferase levels.
An enzyme released from liver cells. A blood test that reveals ALT levels above normal may indicate liver damage.
(ALT) An enzyme released from liver cells. A blood test that reveals abnormally high ALT levels may indicate liver damage.
A liver enzyme found in the blood. Elevated levels of ALT indicate liver disease severity and the presence of liver inflammation. A normalization or reduction in ALT levels signifies increased and improved liver function, the halt of disease progression and liver damage, and a reduced risk of progressive liver disease.
