Hati ialah organ penting yang menapis toksin, memproses nutrien dan menghasilkan protein untuk badan. Ujian fungsi hati (Liver Function Test/LFT) ialah ujian darah yang mengukur beberapa penanda utama — enzim ALT (SGPT) dan AST (SGOT), enzim ALP, serta bilirubin dan albumin. Bila sel hati tertekan atau cedera, enzim ini bocor ke dalam darah dan bacaannya naik. Yang penting difahami — enzim hati tinggi selalunya tiada simptom awal. Carta di bawah menjelaskan setiap penanda.

The liver is a vital organ that filters toxins, processes nutrients and makes proteins for the body. A Liver Function Test (LFT) is a blood test that measures several key markers — the enzymes ALT (SGPT) and AST (SGOT), the enzyme ALP, plus bilirubin and albumin. When liver cells are stressed or injured, these enzymes leak into the blood and the readings rise. The key thing to understand — high liver enzymes usually have no early symptoms. The chart below explains each marker.

Kenapa Angka Ini Penting — Malaysia

Why This Number Matters — Malaysia

Perlemakan hati (fatty liver/NAFLD) kini antara masalah hati paling biasa di Malaysia, selari dengan peningkatan obesiti dan diabetes — dan ramai tidak menyedarinya kerana ia tiada simptom pada peringkat awal. Enzim hati tinggi sering dikesan secara kebetulan melalui saringan darah. Berita baiknya, perlemakan hati boleh berbalik jika dikesan awal dan gaya hidup diubah — sebab itu mengetahui bacaan anda awal amat bernilai.

Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is now among the most common liver problems in Malaysia, rising alongside obesity and diabetes — and many people don't realise they have it because it causes no symptoms in the early stages. High liver enzymes are often picked up by chance on a blood screening. The good news: fatty liver can be reversed if caught early and lifestyle is changed — which is why knowing your numbers early is so valuable.

Carta Ujian Fungsi Hati — ALT, AST & Lain

Liver Function Test Chart — ALT, AST & More

Padankan setiap baris keputusan anda dengan carta di bawah. Nilai ini hanya julat anggaran — julat rujukan sebenar berbeza mengikut makmal, jadi sentiasa rujuk julat rujukan yang tercetak pada laporan anda.

Match each row of your result to the chart below. These are approximate ranges only — actual reference ranges vary by laboratory, so always refer to the reference range printed on your own report.

UjianTest Julat Anggaran NormalApprox. Normal Range Apa Ia TunjukWhat It Reflects
ALT (SGPT)7–56 U/LEnzim dalam sel hati — naik bila sel hati radang atau cedera. Penanda paling khusus untuk hati.Enzyme inside liver cells — rises when liver cells are inflamed or injured. The most liver-specific marker.
AST (SGOT)10–40 U/LEnzim dalam hati (dan otot) — naik bila sel hati rosak. Dibaca bersama ALT.Enzyme in the liver (and muscle) — rises when liver cells are damaged. Read together with ALT.
ALP44–147 U/LEnzim saluran hempedu — naik bila saluran hempedu tersekat atau tersumbat.Bile-duct enzyme — rises when the bile ducts are blocked or obstructed.
Bilirubin (total)Bilirubin (total)0.1–1.2 mg/dLHasil pecahan sel darah merah yang diproses hati — tinggi boleh sebabkan jaundis (kulit/mata kuning).A by-product of red-blood-cell breakdown processed by the liver — high levels can cause jaundice (yellow skin/eyes).
Albumin3.5–5.0 g/dLProtein utama yang dihasilkan hati — bacaan rendah boleh menunjukkan fungsi hati terjejas.The main protein made by the liver — a low reading can indicate reduced liver function.

Cara baca: SGPT ialah nama lama untuk ALT, dan SGOT ialah nama lama untuk AST — jadi jangan keliru jika laporan anda guna istilah berbeza. ALT dan AST ialah "enzim hati" utama; bila kedua-duanya melebihi julat rujukan, keadaan ini biasa dipanggil enzim hati tinggi. Satu bacaan tinggi belum tentu bermaksud penyakit serius — tetapi ia perlu dinilai oleh doktor, bukan diabaikan.

How to read it: SGPT is the older name for ALT, and SGOT is the older name for AST — so don't be confused if your report uses different terms. ALT and AST are the main "liver enzymes"; when both exceed the reference range, this is commonly called high liver enzymes. A single high reading doesn't necessarily mean serious disease — but it should be assessed by a doctor, not ignored.

Punca Enzim Hati Tinggi (Perlemakan Hati & Lain)

Causes of High Liver Enzymes (Fatty Liver etc.)

Bacaan ALT/AST yang tinggi memberitahu bahawa hati sedang tertekan, tetapi bukan mengapa. Antara punca paling biasa:

A high ALT/AST reading tells you that the liver is stressed, but not why. Among the most common causes:

Kerana punca-punca ini sering bertindih dan selalunya senyap, satu bacaan enzim tinggi paling baik dinilai dalam gambaran kesihatan yang lebih luas. Saringan kesihatan menyeluruh di An-Nur boleh membantu mengenal pasti punca yang boleh diubah lebih awal.

Because these causes often overlap and are usually silent, a single high enzyme reading is best assessed within a wider health picture. A comprehensive health screening at An-Nur can help identify modifiable causes earlier.
