<p><b>Página nueva</b></p><div>==Background==<br />
*Alanine aminotransferase; more specific to the liver than AST<br />
*Found primarily in hepatocytes<br />
<br />
==Normal Values==<br />
*Normal: 7-56 U/L<br />
<br />
==Interpretation==<br />
*Most specific widely-available marker of hepatocellular injury<br />
*ALT >1000 U/L: [[Acetaminophen toxicity|acetaminophen toxicity]], ischemic hepatitis, acute viral hepatitis, acute biliary obstruction<br />
*Mild elevations (1-3x normal): fatty liver, medications, chronic hepatitis, celiac disease<br />
*Moderate elevations (3-10x normal): acute/chronic hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, medications<br />
*ALT may be normal in advanced cirrhosis (insufficient hepatocytes to release enzyme)<br />
