ALT - Riesgos

Nombres alternativos

GPT, Glutamato piruvato transaminasa en suero; Alanina transaminasa

Cuáles son los riesgos:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (sangrado debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve en cualquier momento que se presente ruptura de la piel)
  • Punciones múltiples para localizar las venas

Consideraciones especiales:

Las venas y arterias varían en tamaño de un paciente a otro y de un lado del cuerpo al otro, razón por la cual obtener muestras de sangre en algunas personas puede ser más difícil que en otras.
