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.

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.ery high levels of ALT (more than 10 times normal) are usually due to acute hepatitis, sometimes due to a viral infection. In acute hepatitis, ALT levels usually stay high for about 1-2 months but can take as long as 3-6 months to return to normal.
