SGOT Test in Vijayawada - Price & Details

AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase) and ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) are enzymes crucial for liver functioning. Elevated levels, especially in the SGOT (AST) test, indicate potential liver damage. When combined with ALT,  SGOT helps screen for hepatitis outbreaks effectively. The AST:ALT ratio helps assess liver damage precisely. When both AST and ALT levels are considered, their ratio helps in diagnosing and monitoring liver conditions.

SGOT can diagnose liver-related problems like damage, viral hepatitis, fatty liver, abscess, and cirrhosis. It also identifies non-liver issues such as pancreatitis and heart problems. An SGOT blood test is ordered for those showing signs of liver problems like jaundice, nausea, and vomiting, dark urine, and light stools. Other signs are abdominal cramps, loss of appetite, swelling of legs and abdomen.

The SGOT test is crucial for checking liver functions. It also aids in early-stage liver failure diagnosis, preventing end-stage complications and improving treatment success rates. This test, along with other liver function tests, detects liver dysfunction. Not only that, but it also helps in diagnosing the issue and checking the severity of damage. Once the liver issue is diagnosed, the SGOT test also helps in monitoring it.

Fasting before the SGOT test is unnecessary unless it is combined with other liver function tests. If additional tests are prescribed, an 8-12 hour fast is required. Also, do not forget to inform your doctor about any medications or herbal supplements you are taking, as they may affect SGOT levels.
