GlossaryLiver Enzymes

proteins in the liver that facilitate biochemical reactions

Liver enzymes, also known as hepatic enzymes, are proteins produced by the liver that catalyze various biochemical reactions essential for liver function and overall metabolism. Common liver enzymes include alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), which are often measured in blood tests to assess liver health and diagnose liver conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis. Elevated levels of these enzymes can indicate liver damage or inflammation.
