    What is Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test?

    The Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) test measures the AST enzyme level in the blood. It is mainly performed to evaluate liver function. AST, also referred to as SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase), is an enzyme found in various tissues, with the liver, heart, and muscles containing the highest levels. It is essential in amino acid metabolism, aiding the transfer of amino groups between molecules. The AST test is generally included in liver function panels and helps diagnose or track liver diseases. It may also help identify other health conditions. Residents of Delhi seeking to monitor their liver function can easily book an Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) Test at home.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Parameters

    The AST test measures the concentration of the AST/SGOT enzyme in the blood. In a healthy body, AST is found in very small amounts. However, when liver cells or other tissues are damaged, they release AST into the bloodstream, leading to elevated levels. Increased AST levels may indicate liver damage, muscle conditions, or other systemic health concerns. On the other hand, lower AST levels are usually not worrisome and are considered within the normal range.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Preparation

    Before taking an AST test at home, consider the following:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is generally not needed for an AST test. However, if you have liver disease or other medical conditions, your doctor may provide specific instructions, including fasting.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The AST test can be taken at any time during the day based on your convenience.

    • Who Should Get an AST Test?

    This test is recommended for individuals who:

    • Are undergoing liver function assessment.

    • Have conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or muscle disorders.

    • Show symptoms of liver problems like jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort.

    • Are receiving treatment for liver disease and need monitoring.

    • Cautions Before Taking an AST Test

    Notify your doctor about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you take, as these could influence AST levels.

    Why Take the Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test?

    Your doctor may suggest an AST test to evaluate liver function and detect potential disorders. The test is particularly useful if you exhibit symptoms such as:

    • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

    • Persistent itching

    • Dark-coloured urine or pale stool

    • Abdominal pain or bloating

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Fatigue or weakness

    • Loss of appetite

    • Swollen legs or ankles

    Beyond diagnosing liver conditions, an AST test is performed for several other reasons:

    • Routine Health Checkups: The AST test is often included in comprehensive metabolic panels to assess general health, even in those without symptoms.

    • Screening for Liver Disease: Those at risk—such as individuals with a history of excessive alcohol use, obesity, diabetes, a family history of liver disease, or exposure to hepatitis—may need routine AST testing.

    • Monitoring Liver Disorders: The test helps track the progression of liver diseases and evaluates how well treatments or medications are working.

    • Assessing Cell Damage Beyond the Liver: Elevated AST levels can indicate muscle or heart damage, as AST is also found in tissues outside the liver.

    By providing key insights into liver and systemic health, the AST test plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing various medical conditions.
