Important
Factors that may affect test results:
Taken medications, supplements, other substances: Hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit), Sulfasalazine.
Note:
Dehydration, diet, alcohol, intense exercise, or sample collection method may also affect results. Results should be considered in conjunction with other data, such as clinical symptoms, results of other tests, or clinical diagnosis.
Interference from medications or endogenous substances may affect the obtained results.
A detailed list of interfering substances is available from the laboratory upon request (manufacturer's instructions). If in doubt, please contact the laboratory staff.

Description
ALT is an enzyme present mainly in liver cells, but also in muscle cells, including heart muscle.
When cells are damaged, it is released into the blood in increased amounts.
The importance of the ALT test: it is determined when liver diseases are suspected; and in our conditions, it is also measured alongside other indicator enzymes
>CPK,>LDH in case of suspected myocardial infarction.
Abnormal values of the ALT enzyme: in diseases of the liver parenchyma, in myocardial infarction.
Factors that may influence the test result:
Certain medications (e.g., tetracyclines, sulfonamides) can affect test results. Therefore, whenever possible, blood tests should be performed before taking your morning medication, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Patients should inform the staff about any medications they are taking.
