Liver health check tests are commonly done by PharmEasy Labs, one of which is the SGPT test.
SGPT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase) is an enzyme found in abundance in the liver. It is also present in muscles, kidneys, heart and brain cells. This enzyme is essential for the normal functioning of the liver. This enzyme breaks down complex proteins into energy, which is fuel for the body. An SGPT level within a normal range is a sign of a healthy liver. However, many medical conditions may result in an increased SGPT level in the blood, such as:
- Acute viral hepatitis A and B
- Hepatitis C
- Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD)
- Inflammation in gallbladder
- Cirrhosis
- Dermatomyositis
- Epstein Barr virus
- Diabetes
- Heart-related disease
- Celiac disease
- Obesity
- Old age
- Medications and Drug abuse
A lower-than-normal SGPT level may be due to vitamin B6 deficiency or anti-inflammatory drugs. If your doctor is concerned about your SGPT levels, he/she may perform a comprehensive evaluation, considering your medical history and symptoms, to determine the source of your altered SGPT levels and provide appropriate treatment if necessary.

The fluctuation in the cost of an SGPT test is influenced by various factors. However, the usual price for an SGPT test at PharmEasy in Lucknow is around INR 169 to INR 400. You can also compare SGPT test prices in major Indian cities for a comprehensive understanding.

Test Necessity
Certain symptoms will prompt a doctor to suggest an SGPT test, those are:
- Weakness
- Fatigue
- Etching (pruritus)
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea, vomiting
- Dark urine, light-coloured stool
- Jaundice
- Leg swelling or edema
- Excessive bleeding or easy bruising
Since high levels of SGPT may not trigger noticeable symptoms, regular SGPT testing is crucial to detect liver damage and inflammation early. Doctors may also recommend SGPT tests, especially for people who are at risk due to the factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, viral infections, or a family history of liver disease.
Test Preparation
The SGPT test does not need any special restrictions like fasting. Let your doctor know if you are following any medications or taking over-the-counter medicines, as some drugs may affect the SGPT levels. She/he might tell you to avoid taking certain medications for a while prior to the test.
During the SGPT test in Lucknow:
Once your phlebotomist has arrived, a sample of blood will be drawn from your vein. A vein finder will be used to find the required vein. The sample will then be analysed at the lab.
