What the AST and ALT Test Detects

This blood test checks the levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). High levels of these enzymes may indicate liver cell damage or inflammation. The clinic uses this method to evaluate the patient's liver function before gallbladder or weight-loss procedures. It is performed in an outpatient setting and does not require sedation.
