• 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.

• 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
