SGOT Test: Price, Purpose, Normal Range, Results & RisksAn SGOT test, now known as an AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) test, measures levels of the AST enzyme in the blood to assess liver, heart, and muscle damage. Elevated SGOT/AST levels indicate that the enzyme has leaked from damaged cells in these organs into the bloodstream. The test is part of a liver function panel and can help diagnose liver diseases, muscle injuries, and heart problems. What the SGOT/AST test measures The SGOT test measures the amount of the AST enzyme in your blood. AST is found in high concentrations in the liver, heart, and muscles, but also in the kidneys and brain. When these organs are damaged, AST leaks into the bloodstream. Why the test is performed Liver health: The test is commonly used in a liver function test (LFT) to evaluate liver health and diagnose conditions like hepatitis, cirrhosis, and alcohol-related liver damage. Other tissue damage: Elevated SGOT/AST can also signal damage to the heart or muscles. Monitoring: It can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for liver conditions or track recovery after alcohol cessation. What high levels indicate Liver damage: Diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and alcoholic liver damage. Heart problems: A heart attack can also cause SGOT/AST levels to rise. Muscle injury: Significant muscle injury can also lead to elevated levels. What high levels do not do Not a definitive diagnosis: High SGOT/AST levels alone do not provide a specific diagnosis but indicate that there is a problem in the organs where the enzyme is found. Other tests needed: Doctors often perform the test along with other tests, such as the SGPT (ALT) test, to get a more comprehensive picture of liver health.
