- Alanine transaminase ALT: Reflects liver function in conjunction with other tests.
- ALT (alanine transaminase)/SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) - measures the amount of this enzyme, which the liver produces and stores.
- Liver function tests, or LFTs these include alanine transaminase [ALT] and aspartate transaminase [AST], prothrombin time, albumin, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase

- Two important liver enzymes are called alanine transaminase (ALT; also called serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase, or SGPT) and aspartate transaminase (AST; also called serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, or SGOT).
- Moreover, the levels of two liver enzymes called alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were markedly elevated; these enzyme levels tend to soar with various types of liver disorders, including viral infections and liver damage caused by a number of drugs.
- Because transient elevations of serum transaminase levels have been observed during the course of succimer therapy, serum transaminases should be monitored prior to the initiation of therapy and at least weekly during therapy, particularly in patients with a history of liver disease.
