Test Necessity
The SGOT test is usually prescribed by the doctor to analyse the health of the liver, when there are some indications of liver damage. These symptoms include:
- Exhaustion
- Swelling in the abdomen
- Yellow skin
- Yellow eyes
- Loss of appetite
- Skin itchiness
- Stomach ache
- Swollen ankles and legs
- Bruises in the body
- Dark coloured urine
If you are currently undergoing treatment for any liver condition, you will have to do the SGOT test on a regular basis to check the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Test Preparation
The SGOT test alone does not require any special preparations, and there is no need to fast. However, if this test has been prescribed along with a complete liver analysis, then you will have to fast for 10 to 12 hours before the test.
During the SGOT Test
Once the SGOT test is booked with PharmEasy Labs, an experienced phlebotomist is assigned to you who will collect the blood sample from your house itself. You can choose the time and date of the sample collection. The process of blood collection is very hygienic, adhering to all safety protocols. Disposable sterilised needles and gloves are used to draw the blood. The vein finder device is a special tool that the PharmEasy Labs’ phlebotomists have, and it helps them locate the suitable vein in the forearm to draw blood from.
