SGPT / ALT Test (Alanine Transaminase) In Ranchi - Price And Details

The liver, a vital organ, plays a crucial role in digestion, waste removal, and protein and cholesterol production. The SGPT (ALT) test measures alanine aminotransferase, an enzyme primarily found in the liver cells, essential for food breakdown and energy production. When liver cells are damaged or diseased, ALT is released into the bloodstream, indicating potential liver damage.

The SGPT test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like dark urine, nausea, and stomach pain, signaling potential liver issues.
