SGOT, also known as AST or Aspartate Aminotransferase, and SGPT, or ALT or Alanine Aminotransferase, are two enzymes predominantly found in the liver that play key roles in amino acid metabolism. Both enzymes are crucial for various metabolic processes, including the synthesis and breakdown of proteins. These enzymes are released into the bloodstream when liver cells are injured or destroyed.
Doctors may advise the SGOT and SGPT test when an individual exhibits symptoms suggestive of liver dysfunction, including j...
SGPT & SGOT includes SGPT (Alanine Transaminase), SGOT (Aspartate Aminotransferase).

An SGPT (Alanine Transaminase) test measures the amount of serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) enzyme in the blood. This test helps detect liver diseases, such as jaundice, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, etc. It may be done as part of a routine health checkup or liver function test to detect possible liver damage or disease.
