10-40 units/L
Normal values vary from laboratory to laboratory, and should be available to your physician at the time of the test. An informal survey of some laboratories indicates many laboratories find values from approximately seven to 50 IU/L.
Alanine aminotransferase or serum glutamic pyruvic transaminaseALT (SGPT) normal range is 5-35 IU/L.
The Aspartate aminotransferase test measures levels of AST, an enzyme released into the blood when certain organs or tissues, particularly the liver and heart, are injured
No special preparations are necessary for this test.
Normal results will be negative, showing no antinuclear antibodies.
A red-top tube is typically used for an Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test, as it allows for serum collection and subsequent analysis.
Yes, consuming alcohol before a blood test can elevate liver enzymes such as AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) levels, indicating potential liver damage or inflammation. It's advisable to avoid alcohol before a blood test to ensure accurate results.
Liver enzymes in blood tests are ALT/SGPT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST/SGOT (aspartate aminotransferase).
The alanine aminotransferase test (ALT) can reveal liver damage. It is probably the most specific test for liver damage. However, the severity of the liver damage is not necessarily shown by the ALT test.
A low ALT (alanine aminotransferase) test result typically indicates that there is a lower-than-normal level of this enzyme in the blood. This could be due to certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, or underlying health conditions affecting the liver. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and explanation of the results.
This test involves blood being drawn, probably from a vein in the patient's elbow.
The results of the cold agglutinins test require a doctor's interpretation. In general, however, a normal value is lower than 1:32.
