ALT (SGPT)

ALT is more liver-specific than AST and is the primary marker for hepatocellular damage. Elevated ALT on oral AAS is a direct signal of hepatic stress and requires dose reduction or cycle termination if values exceed 3× upper limit of normal.

Unit
U/L
Standard Range
7–56 U/L
TRT Optimal
7–56 U/L (TRT); oral AAS should not exceed 3× ULN
Common Issue on TRT / AAS

ALT above 168 U/L (3× ULN) on oral AAS is a clinical threshold for discontinuation; persistent elevation risks cholestasis, peliosis hepatis, and in severe cases hepatocellular carcinoma with long-term use.
