What is ALT?

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme found predominantly in liver cells. Elevated serum ALT is a more specific indicator of liver cell injury or inflammation (hepatitis, fatty liver disease, drug toxicity) than AST. Consistently maintaining ALT in the lower end of the reference range is associated with better liver health.
