The SGOT test, a blood test, measures the level of one of two enzymes, also known as aspartate aminotransferase (AST). This enzyme is present not only in the liver but also in the heart, brain, kidneys, and muscles.

SGOT is present in various parts of your body, such as the kidneys, muscles, heart, and brain. Elevated SGOT levels may occur if any of these areas are damaged. For instance, levels could increase following a heart attack or in the case of a muscle injury.

Doctors may suggest the SGOT test to assess the liver for injuries or damage. When the liver is damaged, enzymes may leak into the blood, causing an increase in their levels. Your doctor may advise the SGOT test for the following reasons:

• Presence of symptoms indicating liver issues, such as unexplained weight loss and jaundice.
• High risk of liver disease due to factors like family history, diabetes, and obesity.
• Assessment of liver health in conditions like liver cirrhosis.
• Monitoring the effectiveness of liver disease treatment.

As the SGOT enzyme is also found in other organs, damage to these organs could elevate SGOT levels in the blood. Hence, doctors may also recommend the SGPT test, checking for SGPT enzyme levels. Elevated levels of both enzymes may indicate liver disease.

Avoid using over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including acetaminophen (Tylenol), for two days before your test. Make sure to inform your doctor of any medications you've taken. It's important to share your current medication list to ensure accurate result interpretation. Keep yourself well-hydrated the night before the test to facilitate a smoother blood draw.

During the SGOT Test

During the SGOT test, a phlebotomist will draw a small blood sample from a vein in your arm using fresh testing kits, including a Vein Finder tool for precise vein location. The collected sample will be placed in a barcoded vial and stored in an icebox.
