What Is an Alanine Aminotransferease (ALT) Test?

How to Prepare For an ALT Test

There is no special preparation for an ALT test. Nevertheless, you need to inform your healthcare provider about any OTC or prescription medications and supplements that you are taking. Certain drugs would affect the ALT levels in the blood and cause inaccurate results. Your doctor would ask you to stop taking some medications for a short period before the procedure. [3]
