SGPT/ALT
Assessment of ALT enzyme concentration reflects liver cell damage. It is more specific for hepatic injury than AST. Commonly used in liver function evaluation.
An SGPT test, also called an ALT test is used to understand your liver health. SGPT is an enzyme produced by the liver, responsible for converting complex proteins into energy. The test measures SGPT levels in the blood. It may also be used to detect any injury or damage to the liver, heart and muscles. The SGPT test report shows SGPT levels, which are measured in units per litre. High levels of SGPT enzymes are a cause of concern as the liver tends to release more of these enzymes when it is damaged or not performing its best. Low levels are not generally concerning. It is a simple blood test that can indicate liver damage, however, high levels may be due to other factors such as your drinking habits. Other tests are usually prescribed to understand the complete picture. Book this SGPT blood test with Healthians and enjoy a hassle-free diagnostic experience right at your doorstep.
