Question
an elevated alanine transaminase level indicates _________ disease.
a liver
b stomach
c colon
d pancreas
Brief Explanations
Alanine transaminase (ALT) is an enzyme mainly found in the liver. When the liver is damaged (e.g., due to hepatitis, cirrhosis), liver cells release ALT into the bloodstream, causing elevated ALT levels. Stomach, colon, and pancreas do not have a major association with elevated ALT levels as a primary indicator of their diseases.
