  1. Understanding Your Liver Health: SGOT & SGPT Tests @ PACE Hospitals

  2. Your liver is a vital organ responsible for filtering toxins from your blood, producing proteins, and regulating numerous bodily functions. Regular monitoring of your liver health is crucial for early detection and management of potential problems. At PACE Hospitals, we offer SGOT & SGPT Test in Hyderabad as a key part of our comprehensive liver function assessment. What are SGOT & SGPT Tests? SGOT (Serum Glutamic-Oxaloacetic Transaminase): Also known as AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase), SGOT is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, including the liver, heart, muscles, and kidneys. SGPT (Serum Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase): Also known as ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase), SGPT is an enzyme primarily found in the liver.

  3. These tests measure the level of these enzymes in your blood. When liver cells are damaged or inflamed, SGOT and SGPT leak into the bloodstream, causing elevated levels in the test results. Why are SGOT & SGPT Tests Important? • Elevated SGOT or SGPT levels can be an indicator of various liver conditions, including: • Hepatitis (viral infection of the liver) Fatty liver disease Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) Liver cancer

  4. Early detection of liver problems is crucial for effective treatment and management. These tests can also help assess the severity of existing liver disease and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. What to Expect During the Test: A simple blood draw is performed by a qualified healthcare professional at PACE Hospitals. No special preparation is typically required. The results are usually available within a few days.

  5. What to Do After the Test: Your doctor at PACE Hospitals will discuss the results with you and explain their significance.
