The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test is typically used to detect liver injury. It is often ordered in conjunction with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or as part of a liver panel to screen for and/or help diagnose liver disease.
1 ALT (alanine amino transferase, also called SGPT) - enzyme found mostly in the cells of the liver and kidney; a useful test for detecting liver damage. 2  AST (aspartate amino transferase, also called SGOT) - enzyme found especially in cells in the heart and liver; also a useful test for detecting liver damage.bnormal results, and especially combinations of abnormal results, can indicate a problem that needs to be addressed. The CMP includes the following tests: 1  Glucose-energy source for the body; a steady supply must be available for use, and a relatively constant level of glucose must be maintained in the blood.
