alanine transaminase (alt)

What factors can cause elevated ALT levels?

Several factors can cause elevated ALT levels, including exposure to hepatotoxic agents such as acetaminophen, alcohol, or certain industrial chemicals. Infections like hepatitis and conditions such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autoimmune hepatitis can also elevate ALT levels. Moreover, ALT elevation can result from strenuous exercise or muscle injury, so a comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
