Clinicians order ALT to check liver health, often as part of a liver panel. It helps evaluate symptoms like fatigue, dark urine, or jaundice, and to monitor medicines that can affect the liver. Results can guide next steps such as repeating the test, reviewing medications, or adding other liver tests. You can test this marker with Aniva across Germany and Finland.

High: May point to recent liver irritation or injury from fatty liver, alcohol, medicines, infections, or bile flow problems. Hard workouts and muscle injury can also nudge ALT up. A helpful step is to avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise, review medicines, and consider a repeat test.
Low: Usually not concerning and often normal. Rarely, it may relate to low vitamin B6 or low muscle mass. Discuss with your clinician if you have symptoms.

• AST
• Alkaline Phosphatase
• GGT
• Bilirubin, Total
• Albumin
• Prothrombin Time (INR)

Common factors that can skew results include recent alcohol use, strenuous exercise, or muscle injury. Some medicines (acetaminophen, statins, antibiotics, anti‑seizure drugs) and herbal products like kava or green tea extract may raise ALT. Acute illness, pregnancy changes, dehydration, and sample issues (hemolysis or delayed processing) can also affect values.

Special situations (when to confirm or adjust): testing soon after starting a new medicine, after hard workouts, during pregnancy, or after an illness—consider retesting once recovered.
