What is an Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT) test?
The Alanine Transaminase (ALT) test, also known as serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), measures ALT levels in the blood and is normally found inside liver cells. However, when the liver is damaged and inflamed, the ALT enzyme is released into the bloodstream. This process helps in the early detection of any damage to the liver.

When is the Alanine Aminotransferase (SGPT) test recommended?
The increase in ALT (SGPT) is the first sign of a problem before other symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, and vomiting appear.Higher than normal levels of ALT can be an indicator of liver damage and can be caused due to hepatitis, cirrhosis, or death of liver tissue.Lower levels (within the normal range) of ALT indicate a healthy liver, but very low ALT levels may also pose a health risk.
What does it measure?
The Alanine Transaminase test measures the levels of alanine transaminase in the blood. Alanine Transaminase is an enzyme that is found in liver and kidney cells.
