Frequently Asked Questions
SGOT is typically used as a Liver Function Test; i.e. to detect liver damage. SGOT is almost always ordered along with SGPT. Symptoms of a liver disorder usually include weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal swelling, pain, jaundice etc.
SGOT test is also ordered for people who are at high risk of liver damage. Often liver damage does not show symptoms for long, and go unnoticed. In such situations, regular checking for SGOT and SGPT can detect the abnormalities early, and helps in effective management of the disorder. This is critical especially in patients at high risk of liver disorders, such as people with obesity, diabetes, heavy drinkers, or those taking certain medications causing harm to the liver in the long-term.
Your doctor may recommend this test for you if you show signs of liver damage. They include:
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Abdominal swelling
- Abdominal pain,
- Jaundice
SGOT is also called as aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme (protein) normal found in liver and heart. High levels of SGOT are seen in the blood when the liver cells are damaged (ex-viral hepatitis) or when there is exertion on the heart muscles (ex. heart attack), when SGOT leaks into the blood.
SGOT is an important enzyme used to test the liver function.
