Transaminases Oxaloacetic SGOT

Pyruvic SGPT

What are Antithyroid Antibodies?

Transaminases Oxaloacetic SGOT and Pyruvic SGPT are enzymes found in many organs but primarily within liver cells. Elevated levels may result from a high rate of regeneration or destruction of the cells containing it.

Where Used

This test is included in a general check-up to confirm liver physiology.

Elevated levels are observed in liver damage from various causes, such as:

  1. Viral infections
  2. Fatty infiltration
  3. Autoimmune liver diseases
  4. Bile duct obstruction
  5. Toxic / Alcoholic / Drug-induced hepatitis
  6. Over-exercise with the use of specialized diets and supplements
  7. Inflammation of adjacent organs (pancreas, gallbladder, intestine)
  8. Hepatobiliary cancer
Reference Values – Normal Laboratory Ranges

For adults, the indicative values are:

the indicative values in a healthy Men and Women

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

The examination of transaminases, specifically oxaloacetic transaminase (known as SGOT) and pyruvic transaminase (known as SGPT), is an important part of the annual health check-up (checkup) and provides crucial information regarding liver function. These tests measure the levels of two enzymes in the blood, primarily originating from the liver.

Oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) are two enzymes found mainly in liver cells. When liver cells are damaged or inflamed, these enzymes are released into the blood. Measuring the levels of these transaminases can provide information about liver health and the potential existence of issues.

This test is often included in the annual health check-up and is particularly important for individuals at risk of liver diseases, such as those who consume alcohol or take medications that may affect liver function.

High levels of SGOT and SGPT may indicate various conditions, including liver inflammation (hepatitis), fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, Wilson’s disease, and other liver conditions.

The SGOT and SGPT tests are conducted through a simple blood sample. The procedure does not require any special preparation from the patient. The results are analyzed by the laboratory and are usually available within a few days.

It is important to note that elevated SGOT and SGPT levels can also result from conditions outside the liver, such as heart failure, cancer, myocarditis, and other cardiac conditions. However, significant imbalance in SGOT and SGPT levels typically indicates liver problems.

Overall, the examination of transaminases, including SGOT and SGPT, is a crucial tool for assessing liver function and detecting potential health problems. Regular monitoring of transaminase levels can help in the prevention and management of various liver diseases.
