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 Overview:
Hb levels indicate how well your blood can transport oxygen throughout the body. It is often part of a CBC but can also be done as a standalone test.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: Procalcitonin

About:
The Procalcitonin test measures the level of procalcitonin, a substance produced by the body in response to severe bacterial infections. It helps distinguish bacterial infections from viral infections, making it a crucial test in emergency and critical care.

Test Overview:
Procalcitonin levels rise significantly during bacterial sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis, and other serious infections. It is also used to monitor treatment response and guide antibiotic therapy.

Reports Delivery:
Usually available within a few hours.

Is Fasting Required:
No

Test Name: GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)

About:
The GGT test measures the level of Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase, an enzyme found mainly in the liver and bile ducts. Elevated GGT levels often indicate liver damage, bile duct problems, or alcohol-related liver issues.

Test Overview:
GGT is highly sensitive to liver and bile duct disorders. It is commonly used along with ALP, SGOT, and SGPT to provide a clearer picture of liver health.

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

Is Fasting Required:
No
