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

    The Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) test evaluates the amount of AST enzyme in the blood. It is primarily used to check liver health. AST, also known as SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase), is an enzyme present in multiple tissues, with the highest levels in the liver, heart, and muscles. It plays a key role in amino acid metabolism by transferring amino groups between molecules. The AST test is a standard component of liver function tests and helps diagnose or monitor liver diseases. It may also be useful in detecting other medical conditions. Residents of Gurgaon looking to assess their liver health can conveniently schedule an Aspartate Aminotransferase AST (SGOT) Test at home.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Parameters

    The AST test helps determine the amount of AST/SGOT enzyme circulating in the blood. Under normal conditions, AST is present in only trace amounts. However, when liver or muscle cells sustain damage, they release AST, causing its levels in the blood to rise. Elevated AST levels may signal liver disease, muscular disorders, or broader systemic issues. Meanwhile, low AST levels are generally not problematic and are regarded as normal.

    Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST / SGOT) Test Preparation

    Ensure the following steps are followed before your AST test:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is usually unnecessary for an AST test. However, if you have pre-existing liver conditions, your doctor might give special instructions, including fasting.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can take the AST test at any convenient time during the day.

    • Who Should Get an AST Test?

    This test is recommended for individuals who:

    • Need an evaluation of liver health.

    • Show signs of liver dysfunction, such as jaundice, tiredness, or abdominal pain.

    • Have conditions like hepatitis, fatty liver, or muscle-related disorders.

    • Are undergoing liver treatment and require monitoring.

    • Cautions Before Taking an AST Test

    Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications, supplements, or herbal treatments, as they might impact your AST levels.

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

    An AST test helps detect liver-related issues and may be recommended if you experience symptoms such as:

    • Fatigue or weakness

    • Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)

    • Nausea or vomiting

    • Loss of appetite

    • Persistent itching

    • Abdominal pain or swelling

    • Dark urine or light-coloured stool

    • Swelling in the legs or ankles

    Besides diagnosing liver conditions, AST testing serves other important functions:

    • General Health Assessment: It is frequently included in metabolic panels to evaluate overall health, even in symptom-free individuals.

    • Liver Disease Screening: Those with risk factors—such as heavy alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, family history of liver disease, or exposure to hepatitis—may require periodic AST tests.

    • Tracking Liver Health: Doctors use AST levels to monitor liver disease progression and assess the effects of medications or treatments.

    • Identifying Damage in Other Organs: Since AST is found in heart and muscle tissues, abnormal levels can indicate issues beyond the liver.

    The AST test is a valuable tool in diagnosing and managing liver-related and systemic conditions, aiding in early detection and treatment.

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • Awesome experience.. very fast and smooth process. Quick response from Orange Health team. I needed to get my covid test done and called almost 10 diagnostic centers none of them responded since it was sunday although they have mentioned they were open but when i called them they said they would come on the next day. (Not to take any names) But Orange Health care team were very prompt. I just checked in their websites. Got a response call within a minute. The executive was very helpful, clear and he surely did know how to talk a patient or person in need , i did feel a sense of caring nature and he sorted it out quickly, arranged the sample collection in the next hour.. Even the lab technician (sample collector) was punctual and He took proper safety measures. And yes!! I got my reports within 4 hours ( i was hoping to get it on the next day) Awesome guys.. keep up the good work.. A Satisfied Patron. 😌

    • Good first experience availing the services. Easy to place a request for at home sample collection. In fact the collection was scheduled in no time, which I really appreciate because it was a RTPCR where time is of essence. The phlebotomist arrived on time despite a heavy rain. He was courteous and quite skilled. The report came on time too. The status updates were easily available. Customer care was prompt and helpful. Based on my first experience, I recommend Orange Health.
