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.
