    Glossary Alanine Aminotransferase

    enzyme indicating liver health, also known as ALT

    Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), also known as Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT), is an enzyme primarily found in the liver. It plays a crucial role in converting alanine, an amino acid, into pyruvate, which is essential for energy production. Elevated levels of ALT in the blood can indicate liver damage or disease, making it a valuable marker in diagnosing liver conditions.
