SGOT stands for serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase. It is an enzyme mostly found in the liver.  The SGOT test is a part of a liver profile that measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. Generally, SGOT levels in the blood are low. When the liver is damaged, this enzyme leaches out of the liver and into the bloodstream. This can increase the SGOT level in the bloodstream.

SGOT is also present in the brain, heart, kidneys and muscles. Muscles or any of these organs may also lead to increased SGOT levels in the blood, such as during a heart attack or if you've had a muscle injury.

SGPT is the other essential enzyme found in heavier concentrations in the liver. SGPT test is done along with SGOT to get a clear idea about the problem in liver function. A high level of both SGOT and SGPT in the blood means that the problem is with the liver. On the other hand, SGOT is high while SGPT is normal, indicating that the problem is not in the liver but elsewhere.

These symptoms compel the doctor to suggest the SGOT test-

• Chronic fatigue
• Signs of jaundice
• Abdominal pain and swelling
• Dark coloured urine
• Pale coloured stool
• Unexpected weight loss
• Nausea/vomiting

Doctors may recommend an SGOT test if someone has the risk factors for liver disease, such as diabetes, hepatitis C, obesity or family history.

Doctors use this test to monitor how well the medicine is working if you are under a liver treatment.

The SGOT test doesn't require any specific preparation, even fasting. Rather a daily diet should be followed to get perfect results. Tell your doctor if you are taking any other treatments or over-the-counter medications. Certain medications can affect SGOT levels in the blood. In that case, your doctor may ask you to avoid certain medications for a period of time before the test.
