SGOT/AST
Measurement of AST enzyme levels helps evaluate liver and muscle cell injury. Elevated values are seen in liver disease, cardiac injury, and muscle disorders. Interpreted with other liver enzymes.
An AST/ SGOT test is used for screening, diagnosis, or monitoring liver-related health issues. An SGOT test, abbreviated for Glutamic-oxaloacetic Transaminase, measures two enzymes produced by the liver called glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. This enzyme is found in several parts of the body, including muscles, kidneys, brain and heart. SGOT leaks into the blood whenever liver cells get damaged. Hence, the test is used to assess liver health. Higher than normal SGOT levels point to liver damage. High levels of SGOT are also observed in cases of muscle damage or heart attacks. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample.
