What this test is

The ALT blood test, also known as SGPT, quantifies the amount of Alanine Aminotransferase in your bloodstream. ALT is an enzyme that plays a key role in metabolism, and its levels can indicate liver function.

What it measures

What the test involves

This test requires a standard blood draw. A healthcare professional will collect a small sample of your blood, typically from a vein in your arm.

Why it is often ordered

Clinicians often order an ALT test as part of a routine liver function panel or if they suspect liver damage or disease. It can help evaluate the cause of symptoms like jaundice or abdominal pain.

Preparation

To prepare for this test, follow any specific instructions provided by the laboratory. Some labs may ask you to fast for a period before the blood draw.
