Liver function test tracker: follow your liver enzymes over time
Liver function tests are a group of blood tests that often get repeated to see whether a change persists. Mediki charts every result from your lab reports on one timeline.
Liver tests you can track
- ALTALT is a liver enzyme that rises when liver cells are irritated or injured.
- ASTAST is an enzyme found in liver, muscle, and other tissues.
- ALPALP is an enzyme linked to liver and bone activity.
- GGTGGT is a liver and bile duct enzyme.
- Total BilirubinTotal bilirubin measures a pigment formed from red blood cell breakdown and processed by the liver.
- AlbuminAlbumin measures the main blood protein made by the liver.
- Total ProteinTotal protein measures combined levels of major blood proteins, mainly albumin and globulins.
Why repeat liver tests are easier on a chart
A single raised liver enzyme is common and often temporary. Whether a value keeps rising, settles or returns to the reference range across repeated tests is usually what matters, and that is much easier to see on a chart than across separate reports.
What can affect liver test results
- Hard exercise can raise AST, and to a lesser degree ALT, because these enzymes are also found in muscle.
- Alcohol can raise GGT.
- Medicines and supplements can affect liver tests. Tell your doctor what you take.
Liver enzyme units
Most labs report liver enzymes in U/L, and some in µkat/L: 1 µkat/L = 60 U/L. Mediki converts between them automatically.

What are ALT and AST also called?
ALT is also known as SGPT and AST as SGOT. Older lab reports often use these names.
Can exercise raise liver enzymes?
Yes. Hard exercise can raise AST, and to a lesser degree ALT, because these enzymes are also found in muscle. Mention recent training to your doctor when discussing results.
What units are liver enzymes reported in?
Usually U/L. Some labs use µkat/L, where 1 µkat/L equals 60 U/L. Mediki converts between the two.
