Alanine transaminase (ALT) blood test. The alanine transaminase (ALT) blood test measures the level of the enzyme ALT in the blood. A blood sample is needed. No special preparation is needed. When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging.
Measuring the level of ALT in a personâs blood can help doctors evaluate liver function or determine the underlying cause of a liver problem. The ALT test is often part of an initial screening for liver disease. An ALT test is also known as a serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) test or an alanine transaminase test.
