Mildly increased ALT levels in healthy rabbits have been attributed to exposure to low concentration of toxic substances, such as resins in wood-based litter or aflatoxins in food 9 Raised ALT levels (with alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin and glutamyltransferase [GGT]) can be associated with hepatic lipidosis or may be found in patients
- ALT - eClinpath
ALT is fairly liver specific in dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and primates Some increases are possible in severe muscle diseases of the dog and cat due to release of enzyme from this tissue (in this situation, higher increases in AST are typically seen)
- Clinical pathology of rabbits - Veterinary Practice
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity is lower and less organ-specific in rabbits than in other mammals ALT may be released from hepatocytes or myocytes An increase in ALT indicates possible hepatocyte damage; however, the degree of the increase does not correlate with the severity of hepatic disease and is not a prognostic indicator

The following table summarizes blood chemistry values for rabbits Much of the obtained data comes from laboratory rabbits, kept in conditions that differ from those of house rabbits Further parameters that influence blood chemistry are diet, husbandry, breed, age, sex, health condition and metabolic activity, indoor or garden rabbit, not to
- INTERPRETING LAB TEST RESULTS ON RABBITS
ALT (alanine aminotransferase), also called GPT and SGPT: Another test that helps the vet assess whether there has been any liver damage Mildly high levels may be found in rabbits that appear healthy and it is thought they may be caused by low concentrations of toxins such as aflatoxins in food or compounds in wood‐based litters
- Blood biochemistry: alanine aminotransferase (SGPT, ALT) in Rabbits . . .
Little tissue specificity in the rabbit Heart muscle has similar ALT activity to liver However, do see significant elevations in ALT in conditions of hepatic damage and necrosis Uses In combination Detection of liver damage

Like ALT, AST is an indicator of tissue damage It is sometimes used as an indicator of liver disease, especially in horses in which ALT is not liver specific In rabbits, AST is found in liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas, with the highest activity in the liver and skeletal muscle (Benson and Paul-Murphy, 1999) Physical

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): This enzyme is of limited use for rabbit liver disease since ALT is found in many tissues [3] However, if ALT is significantly elevated, it may indicate liver inflammation and necrosis (such as that caused by parasites, and or hepatic lipidosis) [3]
- Alanine Aminotransferase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The ALT enzyme is found at high concentrations in cardiac muscle in rabbits (Hoffmann et al , 1982) The ALT enzyme can be mildly elevated in healthy rabbits after exposure to low levels of lead or mycotoxins (Harcourt-Brown, 2002) or halothane anesthesia (Gil et al 2007)
- Interpreting blood profiles in non-domestic small mammals - Vet Times
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are markers of hepatocellular damage; however, as in dogs and cats, they often lack specificity ALT has been shown to be of value in assessing hepatic damage in ferrets, but is less useful in rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas, as the enzyme has lower activity in herbivores
