Transaminases Oxaloacetate SGOT Pyrostaphylate SGPT are enzymes found in many organs but mainly in liver cells. Possibly increased values come from an intense rate of regeneration - the destruction of the cells that contain it.

It is an examination that is included in a general check up to confirm the physiology of the liver.

Increased values are observed in liver damage of a more general etiology, such as:

1. Viral infections
2. Sebaceous infiltration
3. Autoimmune liver diseases
4. Bile duct obstruction
5. Toxic / Alcoholic / Medicinal hepatitis
6. Extreme sports using special nutrition - supplements
7. Inflammation of collateral organs (pancreas-bile-intestine)
8. Hepatobiliary cancer

For adults, the following are applied:

Expected Levels in Healthy Men and Women:

1. SGOT : 20 - 60 IU/dL
2. SGPT : 10 - 40 IU/dL

Simple blood collection happens at any time of the day (7.30-19.30)

1. The result is available the next working day.
2. Possibility of urgent response in about 1 hour
