Liver

The liver is the body's largest organ and has the task of purifying the blood.

ALA

Alanine aminotransferase

ALT

Alate, alanine aminotransferase, is an enzyme found in the cells of the liver and the tissues of the body. The marker Alat, alanine aminotransferase, is used when liver cell damage is suspected.

ALP

Alkaline phosphatases

ALP

Alkaline phosphatases, ALP, are a type of enzyme that breaks down phosphate groups in organic molecules and are active at a higher pH value (alkaline).

ASA

Aspartate Aminotransferase

AST

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme that is normally found inside the cells of the liver. In case of inflammation or irritation in the liver, AST can leak into the blood.

GGT

Gamma-glutamyltransferase

GT, gamma

GT, gamma, is an enzyme that the body uses to break down amino acids. If liver or biliary tract disease is suspected, the GT value can be measured.
