Overview
The liver plays an important role in maintaining the body's metabolism through various functions. This includes producing bile to eliminate waste. It also acts as a defence against infections and clears toxic substances. Within the liver, AST and ALT enzymes contribute to its proper functioning. AST is released into the blood when cells containing it are damaged. It is often due to conditions like liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis), heart damage, muscle injuries, pancreatitis, and severe infections.
SGOT test helps assess the severity of liver disease, and its levels can vary based on factors like age, exercise, lifestyle, race, and gender. When combined with ALT, AST is a useful test to screen for hepatitis outbreaks.
These common symptoms indicate high levels of AST:
- Jaundice
- Increased susceptibility to infection
- Abdominal cramps
- Dark urine
- Pale stool
- Symptoms of discomfort
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhoea
SGOT blood test is also recommended for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of liver disease, alcohol use disorder, obesity, diabetes, and hepatitis exposure.

Test Necessity
The SGOT (AST) test is crucial for assessing liver health, detecting abnormalities, and diagnosing liver diseases early. Timely testing can help prevent complications, such as liver cirrhosis or cancer, and ensure prompt medical intervention if needed. It is an essential test in maintaining overall health and well-being.
Test Preparation
When getting the SGOT test alone, fasting is not required. However, if your doctor has prescribed additional liver function tests along with SGOT, an 8-12 hour fast may be necessary. Always inform your doctor about any medications, drugs, or herbal supplements you are currently taking. This is because certain medicines can alter the result of the SGOT test.
During the SGOT Test
The sample collection process for the SGOT test is simple and quick. The technician will come to your home to take a small blood sample. They will use a fresh kit, which will include a Vein Finder tool. This device helps the technicians to quickly locate a prominent vein. The SGOT samples are stored in barcoded vials and sent to labs for testing.
