What Is an ALT Blood Test?

An ALT blood test measures alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme found primarily in liver cells. When liver cells are damaged or inflamed, ALT leaks into the bloodstream. This makes ALT one of the most sensitive early markers of liver stress — often detecting problems before symptoms appear.

Why Get an ALT Blood Test in Gresham?

Oregon reports moderate obesity rates, with strong public health focus on early metabolic disease detection. In Oregon, approximately 29.9% of adults have obesity and 9.4% have diabetes — both major risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the leading cause of elevated ALT in the United States.

Getting tested in Gresham is simple:

  • No doctor's order required — order directly online
  • Fast turnaround — most results in 1–2 business days
  • Transparent pricing — know the cost before you visit the lab
  • Convenient locations — major lab chains serve the Gresham area

Lab Access in Gresham

The Gresham metro area is served by multiple national lab networks, including Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp locations, as well as hospital-affiliated outpatient labs. Most locations accept walk-ins, though morning hours (7am–10am) are typically the least busy. You will receive a complete list of participating labs after placing your order.

How to Prepare for Your ALT Test

For a standalone ALT blood test, fasting is usually not required. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment. If your doctor has ordered a comprehensive metabolic panel or liver function panel alongside ALT, fasting for 8–12 hours may be recommended. Check your lab requisition for specific instructions.

Understanding Your Results

For most adults, a normal ALT range is roughly 7 to 56 U/L. Elevated levels may indicate fatty liver disease, alcohol-related liver stress, medication effects, or viral hepatitis. The degree of elevation matters:

  • 56–112 U/L — mild elevation; often reversible with lifestyle changes
  • 113–280 U/L — moderate elevation; requires follow-up testing
  • >280 U/L — severe elevation; seek prompt medical evaluation
