The liver is an essential organ which is responsible for controlling various metabolic functions in our body. Among those, one of the most important contributions is to detoxify the blood by processing different waste products. To conduct all these functions properly, the liver secretes several types of enzymes in the bloodstream. One of these enzymes is SGPT.

An SGPT test is performed to check for any liver damage or disease prevalence. A low SGPT level in the blood is normal. However, a high level of SGPT is produced when the liver is damaged, or it shows an underlying disease.

Along with a well-balanced diet, proper hydration and regular exercise, doctors may recommend a regular SGPT blood test to achieve better liver health and maintain it.

Doctors may recommend an SGPT test if he/she suspects the level of SGPT has been raised as a side effect of certain medications or an unhealthy lifestyle.

Some of the reasons for liver disorders are:

• Alcohol consumption
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Acute viral hepatitis A, B and C
• Heart attack
• Gallbladder infection
• Dermatomyositis
• Epstain-Barr vision
• Liver cancer
• Liver cirrhosis
• Tumour in the  liver

In addition, your doctor may ask for an SGPT test report if you are showing symptoms such as:

• Fatigue
• Weakness
• Swollen legs
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea or vomiting
• Jaundice
• Bruising

If the test report exhibits a higher level of SGPT, your doctor may suggest some other tests or she/he will proceed with the treatment.

The person undergoing the test doesn't have to fast prior to the SGPT test. But it is advisable to discuss with your doctor if you are undergoing any treatment already. Since the medicines may alter the final result she/he would instruct the precautions if needed.

During the SGPT Test

Since the SGPT test is a blood test, you will need to submit a sample for analysis. Once you have booked an SGPT test through PharmEasy Labs, a phlebotomist will collect your blood sample from your home. A vein finder will be used to locate the required vein accurately and a small quantity of blood will be drawn, sealed and taken to the Lab.
