Test Name: SGOT (AST) – Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase / Aspartate Aminotransferase

About:
The SGOT (AST) test measures the level of an enzyme called Aspartate Aminotransferase. This enzyme is mainly found in the liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated SGOT levels may indicate liver damage or injury to other organs.

Test Overview:
SGOT is released into the bloodstream when liver cells or muscle cells are damaged. It is commonly performed along with SGPT (ALT) for a clearer evaluation of liver health.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: SGPT (ALT) – Serum Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase / Alanine Aminotransferase

About:
The SGPT (ALT) test measures the level of Alanine Aminotransferase, an enzyme found mainly in the liver. Elevated SGPT levels usually indicate liver cell injury or inflammation.

Test Overview:
SGPT is released into the bloodstream when liver cells are damaged. This test is commonly done along with SGOT (AST) to assess liver health and diagnose liver conditions.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours to 1 day.

Is Fasting Required:
