Frequently Asked Questions about the Patris Health® Liver Function Home Test

When should one check ALT and AST?

One should check ALT and AST in blood regularly to monitor their concentration. If they are elevated above the standard (80 IU/L), liver health might be at risk.

Can the liver be injured without experiencing symptoms?

People with liver injury do not necessarily experience any symptoms; therefore, they should not wait for examination until it hurts.

ALT and AST enzymes pass from cells to the blood before the appearance of clinical symptoms of liver damage1; therefore, testing for ALT and AST in the blood is hugely beneficial for the early diagnosis of liver injury.

Can liver enzymes be elevated also due to non-disease-related conditions?

Yes, intensive exercise, for example, can increase transaminase activities, and the result might appear false-positive. In such a case, you should repeat your testing or consult a doctor for a thorough examination.

Does alcohol abuse have anything to do with liver enzymes?

Yes. Alcohol abuse is one of the most common causes of liver injury. When the liver is injured, it releases enzymes in the blood.
