Alanine aminotransferase is a substance mainly found in human liver cells, the serum level of alanine aminotransferase in normal human body is 0-40 U/L, the test result is 12 is normal.
Alanine aminotransferase, also known as glutamine aminotransferase, is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of human proteins, which can play an important role in catalyzing the interconversion of proteins, fats, and sugars in the liver in the human body.
Hepatocytes are the main distribution site of alanine aminotransferase. When hepatocytes are damaged, such as when inflammation, toxicity, or necrosis occurs, the hepatocyte membranes will rupture, and alanine aminotransferase will be released from the hepatocytes into the bloodstream, elevating serum alanine aminotransferase.
If you suspect that you may have alanine aminotransferase abnormality, it is recommended that you go to the hospital regularly for review, so that the problem can be detected early and treated promptly.
