How Long is Too Long for a Medical Leave of Absence? If you are granting a leave to an employee as an accommodation, your best defense to a potential ADA claim is to open a dialogue with the employee about a return date, and prepare to be flexible. September 5, 2012.
The tests (called a liver panel) measure: 1  your level of liver enzymes (see next section) 2  your level of bilirubin (pronounced billy-roo-bin), which rises when the liver is not working well. 3  a protein called albumin (pronounced al-byoo-min), whose levels go down when the liver is damaged.
The ALT blood test measures the level of the enzyme alanine transaminase (ALT) in the blood. ALT is found primarily in the liver, but is also found in smaller amounts in the kidneys, heart, muscles, and pancreas. The ALT test checks how well your liver is working and evaluates its overall health. The ALT test was formerly called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT). ALT is typically measured to determine if the liver is damaged or diseased. If the liver is damaged or diseased, it will release ALT into the blood.
