A close look at the AST, or SGOT, blood test, which is one part of a liver profile. We examine what the results mean and why the test is performed.

An SGOT test measures a liver enzyme called serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase. Here’s what to expect before, during, and after your test.

Risk of cardiomyopathy (including left ventricular failure), arrhythmias. Pre-existing heart disease or risk thereof. Obtain CBCs, bilirubin, SGOT/SGPT, creatinine, LVEF prior to and during therapy.

The transaminase values (SGOT and SGPT) were normal in 4 cases, and in 5 cases, there was a slight rise in the SGOT on the first day after the operation; the highest value observed was 165 units.

An aspartate aminotransferase (AST) test can show whether you have a liver disease or injury. Learn how this test works and how it can help your doctor diagnose you.

An alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test can show whether you have a liver disease or injury. Learn how this test works and how it can help your doctor diagnose you.

Most often, this liver affection is asymptomatic and is diagnosed by transient elevation of liver enzymes like SGOT & SGPT. However, occasionally the liver injury is more severe and can cause ...

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme that’s present in various parts of your body. An AST test checks the level of this enzyme in your blood.

Elevated SGPT, SGOT, SGGT, singularly, or in all combinations, were not found to be associated with pathological Gleason sum ⩾ 7(3+4), ⩾ 7(4+3), ⩾ 8, extracapsular extension, positive ...

Another brain CT revealed new edema of the left medial frontal, posterior temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes with mass effect as well as bilateral cerebellar infarcts. A brain MRI confirmed ...
