The ALT uses one sample to measure a defined set of markers. Here is what the ALT covers and how to understand the report from a licensed laboratory.

How the ALT Is Performed

The ALT is performed with a standard blood draw collected at a collection site. A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the ALT is analyzed.

Preparing for the ALT in Orem

If you take medications, keep a list ready to discuss with the collection staff or your provider. Unless told otherwise, most people do not need to fast for the ALT. Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the ALT run smoothly. Following the preparation notes for the ALT helps ensure the sample is suitable for analysis.

How Often to Repeat the ALT

If a result from the ALT is outside the range, a provider may suggest repeating it sooner. This blood test measures levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), an enzyme found in the blood. Comparing one ALT report with the next is easier when the same laboratory method is used. There is no single schedule for the ALT; timing is based on your individual situation.
