When patients present with signs that point to liver malfunction, such as jaundice, exhaustion, dark urine, or abdominal pain, the doctors will frequently recommend the SGPT test. In addition to this, it is used to evaluate the efficacy of treatments for known liver illnesses and to track the course of known liver diseases. In addition, levels of SGPT can be evaluated to evaluate the effects of drugs that have the potential to have an effect on the liver. This helps to ensure that any drug-induced liver impairment is identified and treated as soon as possible.

Although the patient is not required to fast or undergo any special preparation before their SGPT test, they are advised to avoid consuming alcohol for at least 24 hours. This is because alcohol affects one’s liver and can skew the results of an SGPT test.

During the SGPT Test

During the SGPT test, PharmEasy’s skilled phlebotomists utilize advanced vein finders to ensure veins are located precisely for blood sample collection. This technology assists in making the process efficient and as comfortable as possible.

The normal range of SGPT / ALT in the blood is generally considered to be less than 35 units per litre of blood. If the results are higher than this, it may suggest the presence of liver damage or disease. However, this range can be affected by a few factors, such as age and gender. Therefore, the result must be specifically discussed with doctors.
