SGPT is also known as ALT or alanine aminotransaminase, and it is essential to check for any liver damage. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body and it produces bile that helps to digest food. The liver also produces protein and cholesterol, and helps in removal of toxins and waste from the blood. Consumption of illegal drugs, excessive amounts of alcohol, and cirrhosis or hepatitis can damage the liver.

The doctor will prescribe the SGPT test if there are any symptoms of damage to the liver. These symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain
• Swelling in the stomach
• Vomiting or nausea
• Yellow eyes
• Yellow skin
• Fatigue
• Itchy skin
• Dark coloured urine
• Poop that is light coloured

If you have some conditions or risk factors, the SGPT test will be prescribed too. These are:

• Hereditary liver condition
• Excessive consumption of alcohol
• Hepatitis exposure
• Consuming drugs that can damage the liver

If you are currently undergoing treatment for liver disorders, you must get the SGPT test done to monitor the progression of the disease and to check if the treatment plan is effective.

You do not have to make any special preparation before the SGPT test. If the test has been prescribed with other liver tests, you might be asked to fast for 10 to 12 hours. Contact the doctor for more information.

During The SGPT Test

A phlebotomist will be assigned to you after the SGPT test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs. They will arrive at the specified location on the chosen date and time to draw the blood for the test. To maintain hygiene and safety, the blood is drawn using disposable sterilised needles and gloves. The vein finder device helps to locate the best vein to draw blood from, reducing patient discomfort. The entire process will be over in 5 to 10 minutes.
