Order ALT Blood TestAn 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.
Illinois reports above-average obesity, particularly in rural counties south of Chicago. In Illinois, approximately 33.4% of adults have obesity and 11.1% 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 Springfield is simple:
The Springfield 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.
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.
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:
