Test Necessity
When you exhibit signs of liver disease like nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite, sore or swollen abdomen, jaundice, swollen legs and ankles, and dark urine or light-coloured stool, you might be required to schedule the SGPT test. Additionally, if you have hepatitis, diabetes, obesity, are a heavy drinker, or have a history of liver disease in your family, you must get the test.

The SGPT test can be performed without the patient undergoing any special preparation. No fasting is required. You must let your doctor know in advance of the test if you are currently taking any medications because they could affect the test results.
During the SGPT Test

Risks and Limitations
Risks / Possible Complications
An SGPT test, a standard blood test, generally carries a low risk of complications. Nevertheless, it's important to promptly seek medical advice if you encounter:
- Prolonged bleeding from the puncture site.
- Swelling or pain in the region where the needle was inserted.
Limitations
- Potential errors caused by either machinery or human factors that could impact the test results.
- The possibility of misinterpreting the markers.
Test Result Interpretation
If the range of SGPT / ALT is found to be higher than the normal range, it may suggest the presence of liver damage or disease. Increased ALT can result from several conditions, such as:
- Cirrhosis
- Hepatitis
- Death of liver tissue
- Cancer or tumour in the liver
- Lack of blood flow to the liver.
- Hemochromatosis, which is the build-up of iron in the body
- Mononucleosis, which is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus
- Pancreatitis
Ranges
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.
