AST and ALT, enzymes associated with liver cells, have similarities. ALT, primarily in the liver, is crucial in the alanine cycle. Serum ALT, AST (aspartate transaminase), and their ratio (AST/ALT) are clinical indicators of liver health. ALT is essential for converting food into energy, with normal levels in healthy individuals, but increases in liver injury.

The SGPT blood test assesses liver damage and provides insights into heart, kidney, and muscle issues. Despite its versatility, the SGPT test is commonly chosen to identify liver problems and is regularly prescribed for patients with liver conditions.

Doctors suggest the SGPT test for those with symptoms of liver damage (stomach pain, swelling, vomiting, nausea, yellowing of eyes and skin, fatigue, weakness, dark-coloured urine, light-coloured poop, and itchy skin). It is also recommended for individuals with hepatitis exposure, excessive alcohol use, a family history of liver disease, or medication-linked liver damage. The test monitors liver disease progression and assesses treatment effectiveness.

Furthermore, the test is employed to monitor the impact of various medications, including those with potential liver harm and cholesterol-lowering properties. For individuals at a heightened risk of developing liver disease, doctors may request the SGPT test alone or in conjunction with other tests. This group includes individuals with a history of known or potential hepatitis virus exposure, excessive alcohol consumers, those with a family history of liver illness, occasional users of liver-harming medicines, and individuals with diabetes and obesity.

No specific preparation is required for the SGPT (ALT) test.

During the SGPT Test

PharmEasy simplifies the SGPT test process. A skilled phlebotomist, using vein finder technology, visits your home to draw a blood sample from your arm. After sanitizing the area and inserting a small needle, they collect the sample, which is then analyzed by expert technicians in a diagnostic lab for SGPT units.
