AST Blood Test

ATL Blood Tests specifically assess the amount of Alanine Transferase (ATL) in the bloodstream. Unlike AST, which can be found in other body parts, ATL is mostly found in the liver. These blood tests are often conducted together when checking patients for liver problems.

Besides ATL Blood Tests, healthcare professionals can conduct ALP Tests, GGT Tests, Serum Bilirubin Tests, and Prothrombin Time Tests.

It’s possible to feel mild discomfort and bruising in the spot where blood was drawn. Besides those, there’s nothing too serious to worry about because AST Blood Tests are generally safe. Antiseptics are even used before healthcare professionals draw blood.
