2. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

   The liver transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST or SGOT) and alanine transaminase (ALT or SGPT) are useful biomarkers of liver injury in a patient with some degree of intact liver function. [2] [3] [4] Most liver diseases cause only mild symptoms initially, but these diseases must be detected early. Hepatic (liver) involvement in some ...

3. Elevated transaminases - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_transaminases

   Muscle sources of the enzymes, such as intense exercise, are unrelated to liver function and can markedly increase AST and ALT. [5] Cirrhosis of the liver or fulminant liver failure secondary to hepatitis commonly reach values for both ALT and AST in the >1000 U/L range; however, many people with liver disease have normal transaminases.

4. Alanine transaminase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanine_transaminase

   Significantly elevated levels of ALT (SGPT) often suggest the existence of other medical problems such as viral hepatitis, diabetes, congestive heart failure, liver damage, bile duct problems, infectious mononucleosis, or myopathy, so ALT is commonly used as a way of screening for liver problems.

   The risk of serious liver damage from alcohol is more than twice as high for people with belly fat and diabetes, a new study found. 3 health conditions increase risk of liver damage if you drink ...

6. AST/ALT ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AST/ALT_ratio

   The proportion of AST to ALT in hepatocytes is about 2.5:1, but because AST is removed from serum by the liver sinusoidal cells twice as quickly (serum half-life t 1/2 = 18 hr) compared to ALT (t 1/2 = 36 hr), so the resulting serum levels of AST and ALT are about equal in healthy individuals, resulting in a normal AST/ALT ratio around 1.

7. Gilbert's syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert's_syndrome

   In GS, unless another disease of the liver is also present, the liver enzymes ALT/SGPT and AST/SGOT, as well as albumin, are within normal ranges. [ citation needed ] Crigler–Najjar syndrome (types I and II), a different glucuronyl transferase disorder, is much more severe, with 0–10% UGT1A1 activity, [ 42 ] with affected individuals at ...
