Updated Definitions of Healthy Ranges for Serum Alanine Aminotransferase Levels
Indexed incrossrefpubmed
Abstract
Background
Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, the variable most commonly measured to assess hepatic disease, fails to identify many patients with hepatic injury. Current standards for "normal" ALT level were defined by using populations that included persons with subclinical liver disease.
Objective
To update definitions of healthy ranges for serum ALT level.
