AST and ALT Blood Test in Tokyo Midtown Clinic
About the clinic
The AST and ALT blood test at Tokyo Midtown Clinic in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, checks liver function. An on-site laboratory processes samples, with general blood test results available the same day.
The panel also includes hematology, lipid, metabolic, and renal function tests. Blood is collected through a vein puncture.
Results other than tumor markers are ready in about one hour. Results are explained during the same visit.
Dietary restriction applies, and a 10-hour gap between meals is sufficient. Patients who have felt unwell or fainted after a blood draw should tell staff in advance.
The clinic holds JCI accreditation for its Outpatient Care Program and was Japan’s first outpatient-care and health-checkup facility to receive this accreditation. Testing facilities are on one floor of Tokyo Midtown.
Pregnancy may affect blood test results, which can fall outside the normal range even without an abnormality. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

International Standards and Patient Volume
The clinic holds JCI accreditation for outpatient care, reflecting its commitment to international safety and quality standards. About 40,000 people undergo medical examinations here each year. The facility also manages corporate health programs for around 5,700 companies.

Outpatient Specialties and Advanced Methods
The clinic provides specialized care across more than 10 medical departments. Key areas include:
- Cardiology: Heart Age AI analyzes cardiovascular patterns from ECG data. Preventive blood purification is also available.
- Gastroenterology: Endoscopic and ultrasound diagnostics for stomach cancer, liver disease, and acid reflux.
- Neurosurgery: Stroke risk and unruptured aneurysm evaluation using high-resolution imaging.
- Respiratory Medicine: Treatment of COPD and asthma through inhaled steroid therapies.
- Neurology: Care for chronic headaches and cognitive disorders, including Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.
The cardiology department performs therapeutic apheresis – a blood purification process using special filtration membranes. This removes bad cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory substances before returning purified blood. International visitors can access this preventive treatment. Specialists with over 40 years of experience manage the procedure.
Neurological services include cognitive rehabilitation and lifestyle support for memory loss patients. For chronic headaches, neurosurgeons use detailed questionnaires and imaging. This helps distinguish migraines from serious conditions like brain tumors. A dedicated dental department performs periodontal tissue regeneration and gum disease screening.
Diagnostic Technology and Specialized Units
The clinic uses high-specification imaging equipment in the Midtown Tower facility. 3.0 Tesla MRI and 80-slice CT scanners provide detailed views for neurology and cardiology. Tools like 3D mammography and flexible endoscopes support early cancer detection.
The Executive Medical Service offers private examination rooms and dedicated concierge support. For dental patients, the Blue Radical device treats periodontal disease. Results typically arrive within three to five weeks. Patients can access medical reports through a secure online system.
