Background: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity, the variable most commonly measured to assess hepatic disease, fails to identify many patients with hepatic injury. Current standards for "normal" ALT level were defined by using populations that included persons with subclinical liver disease.

Objective: To update definitions of healthy ranges for serum ALT level.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sonia Butelli"

  • - Sonia Butelli's research primarily focuses on redefining health indicators, particularly regarding serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, which are critical for assessing liver health and potential liver injury.
  • - In her 2002 study published in the "Annals of Internal Medicine," she identified shortcomings in the existing standards for "normal" ALT levels, which often included individuals with undiagnosed liver disease.
  • - The research aims to provide more accurate and applicable definitions of healthy ALT ranges to improve the detection of hepatic injury and enhance patient care in clinical settings.
