Understanding SGOT (AST) Test
This test is often done alongside the SGPT (ALT) test as part of a Liver Function Test (LFT) panel. With MaxAtHome, you can now book a serum SGOT test at home, making it easy to monitor your health without visiting a lab.
SGOT Test Measures
The AST/SGOT test measures the level of aspartate aminotransferase enzyme in your blood. Elevated or decreased levels can help detect or monitor:
- Liver damage from hepatitis, alcohol-related disease, or fatty liver
- Heart attack or inflammation of heart muscle
- Muscle injury or muscle inflammation (myositis)
- Side effects from certain medications or toxins
- The progression of chronic liver conditions
This test is often recommended in combination with the SGPT test to evaluate overall liver health.
Who Should Get Tested?
Doctors may recommend an SGOT blood test for individuals who:
- Show signs of liver damage or hepatitis
- Have a history of alcohol use, fatty liver, or hepatitis infection
- Are on long-term medication that can affect liver function
- Have unexplained fatigue, weakness, or abdominal pain
- Are undergoing treatment for liver or muscle disorders
It is also done routinely for individuals undergoing regular health check-ups or with a family history of liver disease.
Symptoms That May Require This Test
You may need an SGOT test if you experience:
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue or general weakness
- Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
- Abdominal discomfort or swelling
- Dark-coloured urine or pale stools
- Muscle pain or cramping
These may be early signs of liver or muscle conditions, prompting your doctor to assess SGOT levels.
How is the Test Done?
With MaxAtHome, the SGOT test is done from the comfort of your home:
- A trained phlebotomist arrives at your scheduled time
- A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm

Preparation Before the Test
Preparing for an SGOT test is generally simple. Here’s what you need to know:
- Fasting is usually not required, unless advised as part of a broader health check-up
- Inform your doctor about any medications you’re taking, including supplements
- Avoid intense physical activity the day before testing, as it may temporarily raise SGOT levels
Follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or MaxAtHome.

Understanding Your Test Results
Normal Range:
- Men: 10 to 40 units per litre (U/L)
- Women: 9 to 32 U/L
- Reference values may vary slightly between labs
High SGOT Levels May Indicate:
- Liver conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, or liver cancer
- Muscle injury, trauma, or inflammation
- Heart attack or other cardiac issues
- Alcohol abuse or medication side effects
Low SGOT Levels:
- Are usually not concerning and may occur with vitamin B6 deficiency or pregnancy
SGOT vs SGPT:
- SGOT is present in multiple organs, including the heart and muscles
- SGPT (ALT) is more specific to the liver
- Both are usually interpreted together to understand liver function more accurately
Interpretation should always be done by a medical professional, who may recommend additional tests or follow-up if levels are outside the normal range.
