ALT has risen 75% over 1.4 years but remains within its reference range — a direction worth watching.
ALT historyU/L
Every recorded reading — the green band is the reference range, tinted zones are out.
Why it matters
ALT is released when liver cells are stressed or damaged. A single mild elevation is common and often transient; a sustained rise across readings is the more useful signal.
Reference interval —Cornell eClinpath →
Reference ranges reflect conventional laboratory intervals. Always interpret against your own lab's printed range and your veterinary surgeon's judgement. A brighter optimal band is shown only where a published guideline defines one, and it is cited.
