How Do I Find My ALT Score?

 Alanine Aminotransferase, also referred to as ALT, is an enzyme that is primarily stored in liver cells. When the liver is damaged it can release ALT into the bloodstream. Oftentimes, elevated ALT levels are the first sign of potential liver concerns and early detection can help reverse a lot of issues that could eventually lead to liver disease.

How Do I Find My ALT Score?

 

Getting your ALT tested is quick and easy, and only requires you to have a small amount of blood drawn. If you have had recent blood work done, you can check to see if that blood work included liver panels. If you do not have an ALT test on file, you can get one by asking your doctor. 

For those who are not currently seeing a physician or who may not have insurance, you may order your own ALT test by clicking one of the links below, 

or calling one of the labs listed to inquire.

 Low ALT scores do not necessarily indicate a significant health concern, but your doctor will want to do an assessment if the score is lower than 7. Some things that could contribute to a low ALT score are deficiencies in Vitamin B6, kidney disease, and certain medications.

  If your ALT levels are elevated, it is important to talk to your doctor. While elevated levels do not always indicate a serious health condition, your doctor may want to do further testing to rule out any concerns. Some doctors will refer their patients to a gastroenterologist or hepatologist, who specialize in conditions related to the digestive system and liver.

Good news! Your liver enzymes are in the reference range. Your score can change over time and with lifestyle changes so don't take it for granted! Continue to follow a liver healthy diet and exercise routine so that you can keep those scores where they need to be! If your score was within range and you are experiencing symptoms that concern you, talk to your doctor right away.
