Liver function ALT refers to alanine aminotransferase.
During physical examination, liver function is mainly checked by blood sampling, in which liver function ALT refers to alanine aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase is mainly present in liver cells, which is a specific indicator for assessing whether liver function is damaged. When alanine aminotransferase is elevated, it indicates that liver cells may be damaged.
It is recommended that patients should further conduct examinations to clarify specific causes and symptomatic treatment. Regular living habits should be developed daily, with a light diet as the main one. Do not smoke or drink, and exercise appropriately.
