Generally, healthcare professionals order the SGPT test for those who have previously been diagnosed with liver conditions. It is done to monitor the status of your liver to ensure that a proper treatment plan is being followed. In case you are suffering from other liver ailments like Hepatitis A, B, or C, your doctor will order an SGPT test to examine your health condition. Doctors also order SGPT tests as a part of regular health screenings and check-ups for those with a history of liver disease.

Since the SGPT test is a simple test, patients are not required to fast or undergo any special preparation. However, experts advise against the consumption of alcohol for at least 24 hours before the test to ensure accurate results.

During the SGPT Test

PharmEasy will assign an expert and vaccinated phlebotomist to drop by your house to collect test samples at the scheduled time. Other than following all safety and health precautions, our experts use vein finders to precisely locate your veins and draw blood using sealed and sterilized needles.

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.
