Alanine transaminase test (ALT)

An ALT test measures the amount of ALT in the blood. When liver cells are damaged, they release ALT into the bloodstream.

I have had my Liver blood test and the serum ALT level is showing 46 which is outside the normal range, my Doctors comment is ‘OK stable) I spoke to my GP as l was concerned he said that he would be concerned only if it was 2-3 times above normal. All other liver readings are normal.

My blood test results: Alt level is 45, AST is 37, Globulin 40 . All the other blood tests are normal. Thanks.

good morning all The blood results from the test I went for after much indecision due to my cold are “sub optimal” shall we say… Kidney function which is always poor even worse than usual and even creatinine out of range. But I am more concerned that my Alk Phos liver enzyme which has crept up through

Good morning all! (Morning in the US. 24 degrees and freezing rain later today!), If you look at my posts you will see that I have had a "blip" on my PBC radar. My old doctor retired and I went to a new practice about 2.5 weeks ago. She did a lot of blood work I haven't had in a long time, and a

Trigger warning if you are easily pulled into depression or anxiety about your condition: Hello all. I posted on here a couple of days ago because I was going to get a Fibroscan yesterday to see where my liver is on the Fibrosis scale. I was diagnosed Stage 2 (PBC Stage) in 2014. Not sure

I began taking Acalabrutinib on Oct 7, along with Co-Trimoxazole 160 mg twice a day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Aciclovir 200 mg 3 x day. I took Allopurinol for 4 weeks and then it was stopped. Initially, I seemed to have no side effects, not even the headaches that others have reported.

Hi, I’ve been really unwell this year with scleroderma/PBC/Sjögren’s syndrome and I also have hypothyroidism. I started methotrexate a few weeks ago and I’m trying to get used to that, and now I’ve been told after many years of dodging it, that I have to start urso as my alk phos has been elevated

Month after it went up so I was put on Artrovsatin 80mg 2 more blood test my ALT is rising it’s 69 I keep asking is it the statin by GP didn’t agree now sending me for liver scans. I’m so worried please can you help.

My ALT has been low for years now, but since having an iron infusion in April, my ALT, GGT are getting higher - this week after a blood test my ALT was 97. I’ve been advised by my Rheumatologist to stay off Methotrexate for a few weeks to see if it gets better.

I'm about to start a course of isotretinoin for acne rosacea, but my blood test results for ALT (alanine aminotransferase) are 44 and my doctor says the reading should be less than 33. If my next blood test (due in November) does not bring the ALT reading down, my doctor may cease my treatment.

How is everyone doing lately with their PBC? For some of us, the temps are cooler - maybe helping with less itching. Do you feel you are still living life as best you can despite any of the symptoms that may occur unexpectedly in your day? We all have PBC so differently, don't we? I hope you all try

I had a blood test and an ultrasound. Blood test showed ALT and AST levels as higher end of moderate and the ultrasound showed that the right side of my liver was .18 cm in the left side, or the rest of it is .8. My primary doctor just told me to avoid alcohol alcohol and be on a low-fat diet.

my paa levels have gone crazy I’m awaiting another scan but should I be worried?

Good morning, recently a blood test revealed a alt score around 77, Doctor advised diet and alcohol reduction, however still taking statins is this correct??

Labs weren’t too bad, but will be curious to see what they say. Wbcs 1.9, hct 39.5, PLT 176, neutrophils 1.1, lymphocytes 0.6. Alk phos was a little high, but not near double, other liver enzymes were good. I figured it is because my thyroid needs adjusting as it was totally fine in June. But lipids
