• Fatigue

• Nausea
• Abdominal Discomfort

• Change in stool colour
• Vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in legs

However, high SGPT levels might not trigger noticeable symptoms. You can monitor your health regularly with the help of the SGPT test. If you're suffering from symptoms like obesity, alcohol consumption, viral infections, or a family history of liver disease, regular SGPT testing will be necessary.

Typically, no fasting is required for an SGPT test, but patients should follow their doctor’s instructions, which may include avoiding certain foods, medications, or alcohol that can influence liver enzyme levels. It's essential to inform the healthcare provider about all prescription and over-the-counter medications, supplements, and herbs taken, as some substances might affect the test results. Rest and a good night’s sleep before the test are generally recommended to ensure the body is in a natural state for the blood sample collection.

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.
