SGOT Test In Amritsar - Price & Details

The SGOT test is usually recommended along with the other tests in the LFT Panel (Liver Function Test). It is one of the most important parameters of the LFT.  AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) are two key enzymes for evaluating liver function. Doctors often consider the AST to ALT ratio to assess liver damage accurately.

The SGOT test is recommended for people who have symptoms of liver problems, such as:

• Abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, and weakness
• Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea with fatigue
• Swelling of legs and abdomen
• Yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice)
• Dark urine and light stool

The SGOT (AST) test is crucial for the early detection of liver issues, particularly in the case of liver cirrhosis. Detecting problems early helps prevent them from advancing to end-stage liver failure. This test also increases the likelihood of receiving successful treatment. Additionally, it can identify various health conditions beyond just liver-related issues, making it an important diagnostic tool.

If your doctor has recommended the standalone SGOT test, fasting is not required. However, if you need to undergo additional tests, fasting for 8-12 hours might be necessary. When you book the test order with PharmEasy, you will receive the necessary instructions before the test. Also, please inform your doctor about any medications or health supplements you are currently taking. Certain medications can raise your AST levels.

During the SGOT Test

For the SGOT test, the phlebotomist will collect a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. Fresh testing kits will be used, including a Vein Finder tool to easily locate a prominent vein. The sample will be stored in a barcoded vial and stored in an icebox.
